Career Orientation Day - De Leidsche Flesch

The Career Orientation Day (COD) will take place November 13th 2024!

The COD is an event where students get an impression of what you can actually do after finishing your studies.

You can register here!

Various companies, academics and alumni from De Leidsche Flesch will come to this event to talk about career options in addition to their personal career. They can tell you what they did after achieving their bachelor and / or master degree and what opportunities are out there. In this way you get a varied view of your career after your studies.

You can attend any lecture without signing up. However, if you want to participate in two or more lectures, or if you want to attend the dinner, please sign up. If you or someone you know are not a member of De Leidsche Flesch, but wish to participate anyway, please send an email to extern@deleidscheflesch.nl. Participants get free dinner upon attending the majority of lectures!

Schedule:

Netcompany BE 0.08	On October 31st, Douane completed one of its largest IT transformations with the introduction of the New Computerised Transit System Phase 5 (NCTS5). NCTS5 aims to streamline and modernise transit procedures, enhancing efficiency and compliance for over 1800 organisations using the new application. The application is used for transit declarations related to all goods transported through and within the Netherlands. The presentation will give an overview of the NCTS5 and the implementation project.	14:15-15:00
Mystery DM 1.15	Looking for an internship? Or maybe just curious what an internship looks like and whether you want to work for a company at all? Join this talk by DLF alumni Gabriel Bisti on his ongoing experiences at Ortec Finance. He'll share a little bit about the company itself but much more about the internship process, the expectations, and how you too can clinch that full time job offer at the company of your dreams!	16:15-16:45
Thijs Stockmans DM 1.15	Should you continue your career in academia or not? This is an important question that you've probably asked yourself as you begin to explore your career options. For those who haven't decided, this talk will explore what it means to pursue a PhD. If you've chosen academia as your path, I hope to offer some useful tips on the procedures and what you need to arrange to make it happen. For those who've decided to venture into the exciting world of industry, I'll share my experiences on the boundary between industry and university. I began my PhD in Leiden four years ago, focusing on the technical aspects of Earth Observation, and I'm now in the final stages. During my PhD journey, I spent a month working in-house at Cosine B.V. in Warmond and interacted with numerous industry partners at conferences, meetings, and workshops. This December, I'll be starting my next step as a postdoc in Barcelona.	17:15-17:45
Hans Finkelnberg DM 1.15	About myself: Mathematically born and raised in Leiden. Started in 1980 as a student, graduated cum laude in 1985, obtained a PhD in algebraic geometry in 1989 (On the Geometry of the Burkhardt Quartic), then worked until 2002 as a teacher at a high school and since 2002 until now partly working at Leiden University as a teacher and partly at the software company Zermelo as a developer. This is my 'career' in short. In my talk I will briefly discuss the mathematics I have been working on and especially how I, as a theoretical mathematician, have contributed to a software company that became a two-man company with my arrival in 2002 and is now the market leader in the Netherlands with 50 employees.	18:15-18:45
