swissnex Boston participates for the second time at the MIT European Career Fair!
swissnex Boston was one of 143 companies and organizations that participated in the 12th MIT European Career Fair. The objective of the fair is to bring European employers and highly qualified individuals interested in a career in Europe together. The swissnex Boston team, supported this year by Anders Hagstrom from ETH Zurich, offered free chocolate sponsored by Lindt & Sprungli. In addition, we gave away a career-building round-trip ticket to Switzerland sponsored by Swiss International Airlines. The winner, David John Grasso-Ortega from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, will take the opportunity to travel to Switzerland this spring in order to organize a summer internship.
We informed a diverse audience of young researchers, professionals and students ranging from undergrads to post-docs about opportunities in science and technology in Switzerland. The “Swiss brand” displayed by the flag and the word “Switzerland” on our poster proved once more to be a magnet and attracted a lot of science and technology graduates from leading universities in the New England area. We had many requests for information including questions about contacts in the private sector for possible internships to the various PhD programs at Swiss universities. In addition, over fifty people used the opportunity and signed up on our mailing list to keep informed on a regular basis about the many events at swissnex.
