IMPORTANT: Register for each session adding your name to the session lists. 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, whether in academia or beyond?
