Annual Meeting 2008PhD meets IndustryDuring this year's Annual Meeting we are making an extra effort to close the gap between, on the one hand, the European robotics industry which is looking to hire people with a high-level background in robotics, and, on the other hand, PhD students looking for challenging job opportunities in such companies. This initiative is, however, even broader than the catchy name suggests: we allow everyone looking for a job to participate, and we also invite academic research institutes that are looking for candidates for their post doc positions to participate. The procedure is very simple. At registration, you can ask to receive one or more colored stickers to put on your badge: one color for companies looking to talk to candidates; another color for candidates looking for such industry jobs; and another set of colors for academic people searching for postdocs, and for PhDs interested in getting such a postdoc. Ph.D. students and young researchers who would like to share their research achievements are encouraged to present their work on posters. Representatives of the European robotics industry are also welcome to display open jobs positions presentation on the posters as well. The Annual Meeting provides a lot of opportunities to meet informally, so please feel free to talk to people with the colors you are looking for. |
Getting InvolvedWe hope that you will get involved in many of EURON's activities and encourage others to do so as well. Attend MeetingsAttending meetings is an excellent way of making contacts and friends within the community. These contacts are normally interesting, and may also be useful! EURON Schools are aimed at PhD students so are particularly good for people wishing to deepen an already existing interest.
