Professor Marion Thain, EFI Director, will be joined by Dr Neneh Rowa-Dewar, EFI Director of Students, for a fireside chat about her career in academia and leadership and the lessons she has learned. Submit your questions in advance by Monday 9 November and get Prof Thain’s personal careers advice!
After EFI House, take the opportunity to stay on for Venture Café Edinburgh’s Thursday Gathering as we come together to celebrate a year of community-building, innovation and connection at EFI.
Meaningful ideas and changes are sparked when serendipitous connection collides with intention. The Thursday Gathering is a free, weekly meet-up at EFI that connects people from across Edinburgh’s innovation community to make things happen. Every Thursday, Venture Café Edinburgh brings together innovators of all backgrounds, from founders and investors to students and researchers, to discuss big ideas and connect human to human.
This Thursday marks one year of The Thursday Gathering at EFI and its set to be a special evening with another exciting line-up of guest speakers, showcases and sessions to be announced soon!
