Helmholtz Virtual Career Day

Upcoming Helmholtz virtual Career Days:

• scheduled for April 16, 2026, 9 am – 1:15 pm
• organized by KHYS Postdoc Office and fellow Helmholtz Career Centers from all over Germany

Join panel discussions, networking opportunities and get in touch with renowned international companies from sectors like AI development, energy supply, industrial R&D, consulting, chemical industry, science management, pharma industry and many more. On top of it all you can choose one out of different workshops to best be prepared for your switch into industry! 

This year's focus is going to be on Exploring Careers Beyond R&D. Since contrary to popular belief, being an academic researcher doesn’t mean your degree defines your future – it can open far more doors than traditional R&D roles. 

Interested? Then join the virtual Helmholtz Career Day 2026 to explore a wide spectrum of professional paths and connect with experts who successfully transitioned out of academic research.
