The event is cross-listed on the CCO calendar<https://www.cco.purdue.edu/Calendar/Event/C5609332773681E8CB29ADFAF29512F0>. ~~~~~ Dear Purdue Graduate Students, recent alumni, and postdoctoral scholars, We would like to invite you to Science and Research Opportunities in India's (Sci-ROI's) VIRTUAL 2020 annual event, which kicks off this Saturday, September 12th with sessions continuing over two full weekends (September 12th-13th & 19th-20th). Building on past years' successes, the 5th annual event aims to introduce a diverse range of post-Ph.D. career options in India to participants. Our target audience is those who are currently engaged in research activities outside India (primarily the United States). A great line-up of speakers discussing traditional career paths in academia and industry is accompanied this year with speakers discussing careers in tech entrepreneurship, research management, science communication, science policy, and patent law. Purdue is happy to sponsor this year's event!
