NEW at DIAH: Young Scientist Program


Are you a young entrepreneurial scientist working on your PhD and considering possible applications of your research results in animal health?

Then the Young Scientist Program at DIAH 2026 can introduce you to the different stages of development going from discovery to final product.
You will learn how to create impact with your results, what is proof-of-concept and when to interact with industry and regulators.

      • 11:00 – 12:00: What after your PhD - find your mystery job in animal health
        A lot of doors open once you have a PhD, but it might not be clear yet which ones and where. In this interactive session, we will explore with you which jobs in the animal health sector might be a fit for you.
         
      • 15:00 – 16:00: Talking to Industry: Translating your science into a pitch 
        Young scientists are experts at their research, but communicating and presenting your work to industry requires a different approach. This session starts from what you already know: your scientific presentation. In an interactive session we will walk through how to adapt that familiar format into an industry-focused pitch that highlights value, potential applications, various other elements that investors or animal health corporates will require information on, and next steps.
