Interviews – Employer Pitches – CV Check – Job Profiles – Job Board
The Life Science Career Fair 2023 (LSCF23), which took place on May 16, 2023 at the premises of the FH Campus Wien (Favoritenstraße 226, 1100 Vienna), was an outstanding success. LSCF23 enabled jobseekers and potential employers to meet and to network.
The fair attracted a diverse target group composed of students at any levels and young professionals with wide ranged career experinces. The visitors arrived not only from Vienna and surroundings, but also from all other Austrian federal states and even from abroad. Students and young professionals received a representative overview of careers offered by the Austrian job market in the life science field. Young professionals had the chance to get in contact with a variety of potentials employers from academia and institutions, from start-ups and SMEs to global corporates and further organisations supporting life scientists.
The supporting program offered interesting WORKSHOPS and EMPLOYER PRESENTATIONS to envision personal career goals and inspiring presentations showcasing different career opportunities. Moreover, several recruiting tools facilitated the matchmaking of jobseekers with employers looking for skilled personal. Within the framework of EMPLOYERS Pitches, the exhibitors introduced themselves as potential employers. The TALENT POOL gave the exhibitors access to over 355 CVs uploaded by the visitors with filter options enabling recruiting before and after the fair. In addition, individual CV checks & Feedback were offered by several exhibitors. Visitors also had the opportunity to have professional photos taken for their resumes by the photographer in the RESUME FOTO CORNER. Everything that serves the next step in the career was there.
The event was organized with the partners acib, FH Campus Wien and Chemie Report. Only through the financial support of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Economy (BMAW) the event could be realized and among them also the participation of 4 start-ups as exhibitors. With great appreciation we would like to thank all partners and supporters.
The feedback from students, life scientists, institutions and companies was incredibly positive. Dozens of employments were mediated thanks to due this year’s career fair. The large attendance proved the need in Austria for such an event to connect life sciences with the job market. Therefore, the career fair will become a recurring event by the ÖGMBT taking place in Vienna. The next Life Science Career Fair will take place on the 28 th of May 2024. Save the Date!
The LSCF is THE career fair for the whole life science sector in Austria, from academia to industry, that was launched to stay as annual fix point for the community.

EVOMEDIS GmbH
About:
The field of wound care has been dominated by the term “management”. Although innovative therapies are on the rise, they still make up a minority of the whole wound care management industry. Burns and chronic wounds are often managed over long periods of time, rather than quickly healed.
EVOMEDIS, established in 2020, is an early stage biotechnology firm based in the heart of the Medical Science City Graz, Austria. We aim to shift the current paradigm of wound management to wound healing. To do so we are developing a unique product, EVOCellic. EVOCellic is a cell based wound therapy designed to heal burns and chronic wounds. Thanks to our partners the MedUni Graz, Joanneum Research and parent company QRSKIN, we have extensive knowledge in Research and Development (R&D) of Tissue Engineered Skin Substitutes used for healing the wounds of children suffering from burns or elderly or diabetic patients suffering from chronic wounds.
