What's next after the PhD? Not all HGS-HIRe participants will stay in fundamental research but will aim for leading
positions in applied science or industry. To aid a possible search for alternatives HGS-HIRe brings together
professionals from applied science or industry who graduated in natural science and current HGS-HIRe participants.
The program ranges from recent HGS-HIRe alumni who found their way into free economy to established professionals
with long-term experience.
After an introductory presentation of the specific profession, experiences and advice for prospective graduates
there will be room for questions and discussions in an informal setting.
HGS-HIRe Perspectives is organized several times per year.
If you are interested to participate please register with HGS-HIRe before the event.
