ImpeTUM Conference: Careers, skills and lessons learnt

Join the conference!

Dear Students,

Thanks to the generosity of the Education Seed Fund, jointly offered by TUM and Imperial College London, we are glad to invite you to the first

ImpeTUM Virtual Conference!

This conference targets Bachelor, Master and PhD students who are curious—and maybe also a little nervous?—about their future career opportunities. It presents a rich and diverse international lineup of speakers, and offers the rare opportunity to ask them questions and discuss with them traditional and unconventional career choices, share doubts and worries, and potentially seek advice. Participation in this virtual conference is completely free.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the ImpeTUM conference,

spread the word!
