Seminar series
Do you want to know which career paths are waiting for you outside of academia? Then listen to Rumen Ivanov from KWS and Tzvetina Brumbarova from Clinical Trial Center Cologne.
Rumen Ivanov is a regulatory affairs manager at KWS in Germany and Tzvetina Brumbarova is a project manager at the Clinical Trials Centre Cologne, Germany. Their background is in molecular plant biology. Before switching to the industry Rumen and Tzvetina finished their Ph.D. and continued their academic career as Postdocs, followed by senior researcher positions in Lyon (France), Saarbrücken (Germany), and Düsseldorf (Germany). Rumen and Tzvetina will share their career path from academia to industry and introduce us to the process of becoming regulatory affairs manager and project manager after a 20 year long scientific career in plant science. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in a networking lunch afterwards.
