Seminar series
What steps are required for an idea or invention from research to find its way into application? What framework conditions and regulatory requirements need to be considered and which partners may be needed to get closer to the goal of "application"? The seminar series will provide an overview of these questions and also address specific topics in the individual life science fields.
The event dates will be announced in time.
