This online session is aimed at students of engineering, physics, telecommunications, and optics who are interested in exploring career opportunities in photonics, with a special focus on Southern Europe. A selection of EPIC member companies and research centers from Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece will present their current job and internship opportunities. During the session, participants will gain exclusive insights into the specific needs of Southern European employers – including the skills they value most, language expectations, and cultural aspects of working in the region. The goal is to help late-stage students and recent graduates plan their career path in photonics and discover how to join the growing innovation landscape of Southern Europe.
