Part of the series: Summer of Research

A discussion and networking event designed to foster collaboration, connections and career development among postgraduate (PhD) and early career researchers and professionals from various sectors.
There are many career pathways open to researchers, and it's increasingly common to switch between academia and industry over the course of a successful career.
Catalysing Connections aims to create a vibrant platform where attendees can exchange ideas, forge meaningful bonds, and explore diverse opportunities. There will be time for informal networking among PGRs, ECRs and University staff, who can offer guidance and advice and you'll hear from Sussex alumni and speakers now working in a variety of sectors.
Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or a seasoned postdoc, this session will provide valuable guidance as our panellists delve into the varied career routes available to aspiring researchers, and share their expertise and inspirational stories with you.
