The Life Sciences Career Fair 2024 (LSCF24), which took place on May 28, 2024 at the premises of the FH Campus Wien (Favoritenstraße 226, 1100 Vienna), was an outstanding success. LSCF24 enabled jobseekers and potential employers to meet and to network.
The fair attracted a diverse target group composed of students at any levels and young professionals with wide ranged career experinces. The visitors arrived not only from Vienna and surroundings, but also from all other Austrian federal states and even from abroad. Students and young professionals received a representative overview of careers offered by the Austrian job market in the life science field. Young professionals had the chance to get in contact with a variety of potentials employers from academia and institutions, from start-ups and SMEs to global corporates and further organisations supporting life scientists.
The supporting program offered interesting WORKSHOPS and EMPLOYER PRESENTATIONS to envision personal career goals and inspiring presentations showcasing different career opportunities. Moreover, several recruiting tools facilitated the matchmaking of jobseekers with employers looking for skilled personal. Within the framework of EMPLOYERS Pitches, the exhibitors introduced themselves as potential employers.

In addition, individual CV checks & Feedback were offered by several exhibitors.

Only through the financial support of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Economy (BMAW) the event could be realized and among them also the participation of 3 start-ups as exhibitors. With great appreciation we would like to thank all partners and supporters.
