How to Market Your Science
Curious about a career beyond academia?
Are you doing a Master’s, PhD or postdoc in science — or already working in research — and wondering what else is out there?
Join SKVÍS – Society for Women in Science for an informal and practical evening about taking your scientific skills beyond academia: finding a job in industry, making the transition, building your network — or even starting your own science-based company.

What does the Icelandic job market actually look like for scientists — and how do you turn an academic CV into one that gets noticed by industry?
Whether you are actively considering your next move or simply curious about the possibilities, come along, have a drink, meet other women in science and learn what your options really are.
Your science can take you further than you think.
