Special Sessions -- June 6 2012

We want to bring special attention to our two special sessions, both of which are designed to make the attendees aware of the wide range of opportunities for carrer development after finishing a post-graduate degree abroad, some of which may be beyond what you may have considered so far.

In the Brain Gain: return of skills and human capital special session we will to discuss and reflect on the challenges and opportunities, which Latin American -particularly Chilean- researchers, students and young professional with international training face at the moment of returning back to their home country. The speakers will share practical information for those who return and we will open up a discussion about the challenges for the return of human capital to Chile.

During the Science and Entrepreneurship special session we will share entrepreneurial ideas and experiences in order to help you move your business projects forward. We aim to cover all the relevant topics needed to bootstrap you project or business-idea so you can venture into your science-based business fully aware of the risks and rewards. We will finish with a round table with our guest speakers to go deeper into what it is like to be an entrepreneur and a scientist at the same time.
