General
Join our first ACS Talent Meeting!
Are you sometimes wondering how other young ACS researchers and PIs have made their career choices? Would you need international experience? Or better invest in your Dutch network? What is key in being competitive for personal grants? Etc.
The ACS Talent committee will try to help you with answering these and other questions through the ACS Talent meeting on October 16th 2025.
At this meeting, 4 young ACS researchers, recipients of various types of personal grants, will tell you about their road to success as well as to failure. After their presentations, there will be a meet & greet so you can ask them any question in person.
