ABBOTT SUPPORTS INNOVATIVE CAREER PATHS FOR SCIENTISTS

Scientific Governing Board
Abbott's Scientific Governing Board includes the heads of R&D from all of Abbott's businesses, from diabetes care to neuromodulation and rapid diagnostics to nutrition. Together they represent decades of experience in the health technology and science industries. They use that knowledge to help guide the company's long-term research outlook. The board is also responsible for recognizing scientific excellence at the company through programs like the Volwiler Society.

The Volwiler Society was created in 1985 to honor the company’s most distinguished scientists and engineers for excellence in creativity, productivity and contributions to Abbott. The society's approximately 90 members are among the top engineers and scientists in Abbott's businesses and the membership comes with a promotion and/or bonus, recognition from the CEO, a video introducing you and your work to the entire company, and an invitation to the Volwiler Society Yearly Dinner in Chicago, IL, U.S.. Members can rise to higher ranks within the society, encouraging them to stay actively involved in the pursuit of innovation. ​​​​​​​
Abbott Day of Science and Technology (ADST)
ADST is a bi-annual event spanning two days for all scientists and engineers in the Abbott R&D community to learn about the latest research and product innovations. Presenters and Volwiler recipients are invited to attend the poster and demo session in person.
