This empowering workshop is intended for early-career researchers (ECRs) based at BIOCEV and for ECRs working in the life sciences at other institutions in and around Prague. We also warmly welcome anyone interested in the topic to join us.
The aim of the event is to inform participants about different aspects of launching a biotech startup and to inspire them to consider this career path – either by joining an existing startup or launching their own. The program features inspiring stories and a panel discussion with successful founders from Sweden and Czechia.
The workshop is co-organized in cooperation with Institute of Biotechnology CAS and Prague.bio.
It will be held in English and will be moderated by Hana Huszár.
