" Physics to start a career in industrial research"
Philips adopted an Open Innovation strategy. This has facilitated changes in our research focus in the last decade. Our approach offers exciting and inspiring opportunities for physicists to learn about new fields and to contribute to meaningful innovations on health and wellbeing. This calls for a solid foundation in physics in combination with the willingness and capability to take a user-centered perspective, to work in multi-disciplinary teams and to cross boundaries between traditional disciplines.
