BioBusiness Summer School is a five-day course for academics who are contemplating a career switch to industry and young professionals in their first industry jobs. This course takes place in Amsterdam and will help you jumpstart your career in the Life Sciences industry.
During the five day programme you will learn basic knowledge of main business topics, such as product development, intellectual property rights, business models and finance. You will also gain insight in the world of Life Sciences companies, hear from leading business people and exchange with like-minded international participants.
Networking is a key component of the BioBusiness Summer School, allowing you to meet with leaders and experts from the industry as well as build a strong network of talented peers. The sense of belonging to a group of high-performers goes beyond the classroom and many participants have bonded with peers for years to come.
Would you rather participate in an online format? Following the successful move to a digital platform of the BioBusiness Summer School in 2020 (due to the coronavirus), we have decided to make the online format a project on its own, running alongside the traditional in-person Summer School, and thereby allowing students from across the globe to attend the programme.
