Making the move from academia to industry can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. This event brings together a diverse mix of people who have taken different paths after their academic careers—some are just starting to explore options, while others have already made the transition.

You'll have the chance to:
🔹 Connect with others who understand the challenges of leaving academia.
🔹 Share insights, experiences, and advice in a casual, supportive setting.
🔹 Expand your professional network in a relaxed rooftop atmosphere.

This event is organized by Niraj Sharma, who completed a PhD in Neuroscience at UCL before moving into industry. Now working as a Platform Engineer at ITV, Niraj knows firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with this transition.
