On June 15th ICIQ celebrated its first Career Day at its facilities in Tarragona.

The ICIQ Career Day is an initiative that aims at bringing together both post-doctoral and doctoral students and chemical and pharmaceutical industry representatives. Our goal is to give industries the opportunity of meeting/recruiting bright researchers and at the same time, we help our young researchers to start a professional career. In this first edition, we counted with the participation of Basf, Henkel, Almirall, Dow Chemical and Bayer.

This event consisted of two parts: during the morning the companies presented their company, R+D and profile of the positions they sought to fill or profile of the positions that the company usually request . The afternoon was reserved for interviews with candidates interested in a particular company or position.

This latest initiative by ICIQ is aligned with the institute’s commitment to assist in the development of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries by training highly qualified scientists. And this mission includes helping our young bright scientists have access to industry representatives.
