Over 2200 visitors on Beta Job Fair


Last week, science students in Leiden took a big step toward their future at Bètabanenmarkt — and we were proud to be part of it!

Participants had the chance to meet leading employers like Johnson & Johnson, Ecolab, Eurofins, Pharming Group N.V., Thermo Fisher Scientific, and many more. They were all busy exploring internships, job opportunities, and future collaborations.

Beyond networking, students received CV tips, discovered entrepreneurship, and gained insights into careers in both research and industry.

We’re happy to be part of initiatives like Bètabanenmarkt that help shape the next generation of life sciences talent. A big thank you to the students, companies, and professionals who joined. And a special thanks to the Bètabanenmarkt board and organizers for making it all happen.
