This discussion will feature four professionals from different disciplines, who have been through the PhD journey and continued their careers through different paths. There will be two professors at the top of their career paths; an academic and appointed knight for her contribution to science in Environmental Psychology, accompanied by a director of a top financial institution. In addition, there will be two young professionals at the beginning of their careers. A tenure track assistant professor in Biophysics, and a software developer in the IT industry. During the panel discussion, we aim to highlight the specific journey of each panel member starting at higher education up to now, and get a better understanding on the plans they set for themselves and the struggles they had to overcome. We will pose questions such as: ‘Did you always have a clear view on the path you wanted to follow after your PhD?’ and ‘Are there things in your career which you would have done differently?’, while also asking them for tips for current PhD students who are aiming to follow in their footsteps. The audience will be able to ask questions or make comments throughout the whole discussion.
