The workshops provided a stimulating platform for knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the strengthening of collaboration between academia and industry.
The comprehensive program addressed essential topics including intellectual property protection, EU and national funding opportunities, business model development in the life sciences sector, industry –academia partnerships, and effective pitching of scientific ideas. Through expert-led lectures, practical examples, and interactive discussions, participants gained valuable insights and tools to enhance the commercialization potential of their research.
