At the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana, the fifth Cutting Edge 2023 Conference has already taken place, with the main goal of bringing together young researchers and students from various scientific fields, providing them with an opportunity to present their research, and offering a platform for open discussions.
The theme of this year's conference was »Careers in Science.« Many young scientists grapple with the difficult decision of whether to pursue an academic career or enter the industry after completing their studies.
Leading scientists and researchers from various institutions, as part of their lectures, explained how to effectively transform new ideas into successful business plans and the intertwining of their careers with both the industry and the academic world.
The conference was attended by more than 96 researchers from Slovenia and abroad, who presented their research in three different subthemes – science for life, materials of the future, and technologies for the earth and the environment. Our company was also part of the conference, and through its product offerings and various activities, such as the »Science Promoter« initiative, it encourages young researchers in pursuing their career goals and assists them in achieving them.”
