The Preparing Future Innovators (PFI) series is a program of seminars and workshops co-organized by the CCHF with our fellow Atlanta-based Center for Chemical Innovation - the Center for Chemical Evolution (CCE).
The series explores topics and ideas relevant to preparing our graduate students and postdocs for the next step in their scientifics careers. With a broad range of topics, from professional development through ethical research practices and innovation tutorials, this program helps our members becomes innovative leaders, both in their current program and beyond.
Seminars are held every two months, at either Emory University or Georgia Institute for Technology, with video conferencing available to bring in Center members from beyond the Atlanta region.
Check out the reports on previous seminars to find out more about this program.
