Program Enrichment

Career development discussions are crucial for the next generation of scientists to navigate current and future professional challenges. As part of our commitment to support and train the next generation of scientific leaders, Keystone Symposia hosts Career Roundtables at our conferences. These workshops create a forum for field leaders to provide their unique perspectives on career development, professional pitfalls, and the breadth of scientific opportunities available to support trainee scientists. Trainees and early-career investigators have the opportunity to interact with established researchers from a broad range of backgrounds and career paths for essential career development advice and networking opportunities.

Priceless investment on the present and future of science.”
