The career fair CHaSE is approaching

CHaSE is an annual career fair that brings together students, researchers, and industry representatives to foster networking in the life science sector.

CHaSE (Careers in Health and Science Exposition) is organised by the Business Committee (Näringslivsutskottet), which is part of the Medical Association (Medicinska Föreningen) at Karolinska Institutet.

– Through collaborations with life science companies, organisations, and other external partners, the Committee creates opportunities for students to connect with the life science industry, gain insights into different career paths, and engage with professionals and organisations beyond the academic environment, explains Iken Strahl, President for CHaSE and MSc Toxicology. 

She says companies and organisations interested in connecting with Karolinska Institutet students and the wider life science community are welcome to join CHaSE as partners. Through event, workshop, company presentation, or other collaborative initiative, CHaSE offers a platform to engage with talented students and share insights from the life science industry. 

On Friday October 23, it’s time for ChaSE in Aula Medica at Karolinska Institutet, Campus Solna.
