Join Laborama 360's Jobcafé on Friday and find the perfect lab partner

The Jobcafé at Laborama 360 is not a job fair in the classic sense. It is a focused, one-hour meeting point where people who live and breathe laboratory work connect in a calm, human way. On Friday afternoon 20 March, from 13h to 14h, students, professionals and recruiters gather for short, meaningful conversations about what is next.

A format that works for real conversations 

The setup is simple and effective. Short, speed-date–style talks keep the pace sharp and the energy high. Color codes make it immediately clear who is hiring and who is open to new opportunities. Drinks and snacks create an informal atmosphere, so conversations feel natural rather than forced. As Carmen Van Waeyenberghe, Laborama’s PR and Marketing lead, puts it: “You don’t need an hour-long interview to feel whether something clicks. Sometimes ten minutes is more than enough.” 

Fully focused on the lab world 

What makes the Jobcafé during Laborama 360 truly distinctive is its clear focus. Every conversation revolves around laboratory environments, lab technologies and scientific profiles. This concentration attracts people with the right background and mindset, which makes each interaction more relevant. Whether you are close to graduating, considering a professional shift, or building a strong lab team, you meet people who speak the same professional language. 

Who you will meet on the recruiting side 

Several specialized recruiters have already confirmed their presence. Among them are

• Randstad Professional,
• StartPeople,
• ThemaGroup and
• Science at Work,
• next to several other companies, represented by their HR-managers. 

Each of them is actively looking for qualitative lab profiles and brings concrete opportunities to the table. 

There's more to it than 'just' your professional future

The timing is deliberate. Before or after the Jobcafé (on Friday March 20. from 13h till 14h), you can explore the Laborama 360 tradeshow itself, where the best of what is happening in laboratories today comes together. Innovative technologies, cutting-edge solutions and a strong line-up of speakers offer fresh insights and inspiration. According to Carmen Van Waeyenberghe, “It’s the combination that makes it special. You learn, you meet, and you suddenly see new directions you had not considered before.”

The Jobcafé at Laborama 360 is for anyone who hopes to take a first step into the lab world, or to realign their professional path within it. It offers clarity, encounters and sometimes that unexpected conversation that stays with you. Registration is free, but essential.
