Members Connect Virtual Meetup – ‘Navigating the early stages of your career’

Connect with Franklin Women members and strengthen your professional network in this free, 50-minute members only event.  

Navigating the early stages of your career or figuring out what comes after graduation can be tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. Join Franklin Women members who are right there with you, to share your goals and hurdles, learn from each other’s experiences and widen your professional circle.  

The session will begin with an introduction from Professor Francine Marques, who will share her journey from PhD student to research group leader, along with the valuable lessons she’s learned along the way. Her reflections are relevant to anyone in the early stages of their career, no matter their degree or role in the health and medical research ecosystem.   

We will guide the event and introduce conversation starters to take the ‘work’ out of networking and help the connections flow smoothly. So you get to make meaningful connections with women in diverse roles and industries across the health and medical research ecosystem – all from the comfort of your computer.

By the end of the hour, you’ll have some fresh perspectives on how your peers are tackling the ups and downs of their studies or early careers, and you’ll leave with a few new connections to share your journey with.   

Here’s what you can look forward to: 

• Connecting with Franklin Women members at a similar career stage
• The space the share your highs and lows with a supportive community who *get it*
• The opportunity to expand and strengthen your network
• An intimate, welcoming and safe online space where you’ll feel heard and understood.

Places are strictly limited to protect our interactive, intimate and inclusive environment – and keep the FW sparkle flowing! If you would like to come along, please RSVP under the ‘Tickets’ section below.

About the Members Connect meet up series

The Members Connect event series aims to bring together our amazing FW members to strengthen networks and provide opportunities to engage with organisations and individuals who are driving trends and leading innovative programs of work that impacts health.

We know it’s not always easy (or possible!) to attend in-person Franklin Women events due to work schedules, caring responsibilities, travel time, or because crowded event spaces aren’t for you. That’s why our Members Connect events will be hosted across Sydney, Canberra and virtually at different days and times throughout the year – and they are FREE.
