About the fair
The fair brings together PhD researchers, employers and university careers teams to explore career pathways, build professional networks and share insight across sectors.
Employers attend to raise their profile, discuss career routes for doctoral graduates, and connect with highly skilled researchers. PhD researchers attend to explore options, gain confidence in articulating their skills, and learn more about roles and sectors they may not have previously considered.
As a cross-institutional event, the fair highlights the collective strengths of the White Rose universities and supports regional collaboration across academia, industry, policy and the public and third sectors.
A proven and growing event
Previous fairs have welcomed a wide range of organisations, including national bodies, charities, consultancies, and SMEs.
Attendees consistently value the opportunity to make meaningful connections, explore diverse career options, and expand their professional networks across the White Rose universities.
