What we’re about
Welcome to the Academic to Corporate UX and CX!
Are you an ambitious academic professional looking to make a successful transition into the UX and CX field? Your skills as a researcher are extremely valuable in those fields. Our meetup group is specifically designed to support and connect individuals like you who are embarking on a career transition from academia to a first UX or CX corporate role leveraging their transferable skills as researchers.
Moving from academia to the corporate world can be both exciting and challenging. It involves navigating new environments, developing different skill sets, and building a network of professionals outside the academic realm. That's why our group is here to provide the space to share resources, knowledge, and connections you need to make a seamless transition and thrive in your new corporate career.
Through our meetup events, we aim to create a supportive community where academia-to-corporate transitioners can come together to share experiences, exchange insights, and learn from each other. Our events are carefully curated to address the specific needs of career transitioners, offering valuable guidance, networking opportunities, and practical tips to help you succeed.
What can you expect from our meetup group?
- Trainings on CX and UX research skills
- Virtual and in-person meetups to learn from people who already moved to corporate about their experiences, challenges, and strategies for a successful transition.

Our meetups provide a casual and friendly environment for you to build meaningful connections, share knowledge, and create valuable collaborations.
