We will cover the following topics in the first four meetings:
- Competencies

The remaining topics will be announced as soon as possible.
You will meet different facilitators during these network meetings:
- Mette Fog Skriver - Career Consultant for PhD's and Postdocs
- Diana Lund Nordstrøm - Dual Career Consultant
- Mary K. Kobia - Senior Global Mobility Consultant
These network meetings will be interactive, and you are expected to participate in the group discussion as well as in the meeting activities with other job seekers. Always bring the CV and Cover letter you are currently working on.
Be aware that you need to register to each of the meetings separately, and please only register once for each meeting. There are a limited amount of spots available, so if you are interested in attending, it is on a first come, first served basis!
