Information on EAA Forum Laboris @ Forum Acusticum 2023
General information
Forum Laboris is an on-site event connected to EAA conferences/ summer- or winter schools to provide young acousticians the opportunity to get to know and establish connections to different kinds of employers.
Forum Laboris aims to connect potential job seekers/ interested young acousticians and employers by providing general and more detailed insights into work at, e.g., companies, universities, etc.
Forum Laboris is planned on Sunday, September 10th, 2023, from approximately 2:00 PM, after the summer school. It will be organized as a two-part event:
- Introduction pitches for employers and job seekers (approx. 60 Minutes)
- Speed-dating between employers and job seekers (approx. 90 Minutes)
Introduction pitches allow a quick overview of represented employers at Forum Laboris, while speed-dating brings people together for the first step in networking. The speed-dating part is primarily intended for establishing communication channels with employers for the job application process and should not be mistaken for job interviews.
