Jul 2019 - Jul 2020
I started Nextstep Science, an interactive career conference, with the aim of introducing students, graduates and young professionals in the Life Sciences to different opportunities in their field and helping them to advance their careers. I decided to organise this event to help young scientists in my field discover their opportunities, get to know each other and have fun learning. I handed over the project to Maria Mazurová, who is currently continuing the annual organisation of this event with a team of 9 people, and they are doing a great job. Show less
