KaféCV – Meet Your Future in Chemistry
Connect with professionals. Explore careers. Expand your network.
KaféCV is ECC10’s dedicated career networking event. It offers students, PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career chemists the opportunity to engage in informal conversations with professionals from industry, academia, government, and the non-profit sector.
Unlike a traditional job fair, KaféCV focuses on meaningful dialogue rather than recruitment. Whether you are exploring career options, considering your next professional step, or simply curious about opportunities beyond your current field, KaféCV provides a welcoming environment to ask questions, exchange experiences, and build valuable connections.
