SLU is hosting the annual Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) conference, which consists of the General Assembly and Forum and the Scientific Student Conference. In conjunction with this, a Staff Exchange programme for supporting staff in the area of study and career guidance is organised to bring together colleagues from ELLS member universities. Take the opportunity to visit SLU and meet with other ELLS members.
The Staff Exchange Meetings aim to provide a platform for professional dialogue, knowledge exchange, and the development of collaborative practices in the fields of academic advising and career development. We hope these meetings will contribute to strengthening support structures for students across the ELLS network and beyond.
We invite colleagues within the study and career guidance field, such as study counsellors, study advisors, career coaches and programme coordinators/advisers.

As part of the wrap-up, we will also explore the possibility of establishing a long-term network for continued collaboration among participants.
