BSI Career Development Webinars

BSI Career Development Webinars

In the summer and autumn of 2020 the British Society for Immunology undertook a new BSI Career Development Webinar series to support our members who were looking for information on how to deal optimally with the COVID-19 situation and build their skills base. These webinars were aimed primarily at our early career members and provided attendees with information, tips and discussion points on how to deal with the new working environment and how to take the next steps on the careers ladder.   

This webinar series was free to all BSI members to watch. Recordings of each webinar are also available to members to view in the members' section of the BSI website. This webinar series was held in addition to our highly popular 'Connect on Coronavirus: the expert hub' Webinars and our new BSI Regional & Affinity Group Webinars.
