New course: Business development and biomedical innovation

What are the key factors for a successful research–industry partnership?

To help you answer that question, along with a host of others, the Teaching Center, in partnership with the Talent and Organization Development Department (part of the HR Department), is running a new in-house training program entitled "Business development and biomedical innovation".

This course is available for 20 scientists or engineers on campus who are interested in the topic.

Participants will be selected on the basis of their reasons for applying to the course.

Students and post-doctoral fellows are welcome to apply.

The deadline for applications is December 1.

This course will lead to the award of a university diploma from Pierre & Marie Curie University.

Participants will be given the chance to meet and speak to the course lecturers and also to meet key industry figures at a lunch meeting.

The program will end with a simulation to familiarize participants with the strategies used to monitor technological developments and transfer innovation.

This university course will appeal to those working in a wide range of fields, including public- and private-sector researchers, healthcare professionals, engineers, pharmacists and even legal experts.
