BEYOND ICFO 2022: Alumni Careers around the World

The Beyond ICFO annual career event aims to bring together members of the Alumni Network and current ICFOnians, allowing the entire community of ICFOnians to network and share insights on the multiple ways that scientific training may be applied in a variety of career paths.

2022 marks 20 years since ICFO’s founding, with over 2000 ICFOnians who have in these years shared their talents at the institute. This years’s Beyond ICFO Event aims to demonstrate the strength and reach of our network.

The event will begin with an introduction to the Alumni Network and its activities. It will continue with two Alumni panel discussions highlighting a range of career trajectories of members of the Alumni network, and for the first time, a career fair in which Alumni participants will present their experiences and current professional projects.
