Who we are
Here at ScienceAbroad A2I, our mission is building a global life-science industry network to expand the opportunities for Israeli scientists around the world to form connections and collaborations among themselves, and to gain new knowledge and experience within the life science industry. A2I network will enable talented Israeli scientists to augment their extensive research expertise with the skill set required to successfully advance the life science industry worldwide and in Israel.
Programs and Activities
Networking
Our local networking events and virtual networking forum for A2I members are an opportunity for scientists based in academia or industry , entrepreneurs, executive managers, investors and IP lawyers to come together to cultivate new ideas, form new connections, and forge partnerships.
Career development
Through our ‘career development’ program we enable A2I members successfully secure postdoctoral positions and jobs in the life science industry, by helping to polish their resume and preparing them for interviews. Industry scientists and managers, ScienceAbroad alumni and supporters of the A2I community will assist A2I members by:
- Supporting professional development and guiding career path choices.
- Helping to refine and adapt resumes to match job requirements.
- Holding mock interviews, focused on the description of successful candidate qualifications
Mentorship
This 1-year program provides 6 one-on-one mentorship meetings between leaders with specialized expertise from the Life Science industry, and A2I members. The purpose of the meetings is to assist A2I members to:
- Clearly define career objectives.
- Clearly define the career of interest and explore alternative career paths.
- Create a personal development plan and define milestones.
- Address the challenges in setting milestones and meeting personal deadlines.
