Possible questions to be addressed during the evening:
• If you were a PhD student again, with your experience today, what
would you do differently and what are the lessons you have learned
on your own journey?
• What key questions should young scientists ask themselves when
deciding whether to continue in academia or explore other career
avenues, and how can they make informed decisions during uncertain
times?
• How do you foresee the landscape of physics careers evolving in
the next decade, and what should young scientists be aware of as
they plan their future paths?
• In your experience, what are the most critical skills — both
technical and soft — that young physicists should develop to
succeed in today’s competitive job market?
• What are some of the common challenges or risks that young
physicists face when trying to secure a permanent academic
position, and how can they proactively address them?
• For those who have chosen to leave physics, could you share which
career branches/companies they moved into?
• How do you weigh the pros and cons of pursuing a traditional
academic career versus exploring opportunities in industry,
government, or other sectors?
• What key steps or strategies would you recommend for a PhD student
to build a strong foundation for a successful career in physics,
