Testimonials

Attending the BioBusiness Winter School was an eye-opening experience that wiped out my initial scepticism. The BCF team cooked an excellent course. The ingredients: tons of inspiring talks by speakers who are leaders and hands-on experts in Bio/Life science industry; an overview of the career paths for a professional in the life sciences and the skills wanted for switching to Industry from Academia; a bunch of concepts in business, intellectual property and entrepreneurship; a pinch of networking sessions every here and there. I've got energized from this experience, gained professional awareness, and grew my professional network on LinkedIn. Recommended!

The BioBusiness Summer School online edition by Hyphen Projects was definitely an inspiring experience to me, regardless of the Corona crisis. The course content covered a wide spectrum of business aspects and was absolutely sufficient for beginners who show career interest in bio-industry. During the 5-day training, I got to familiarize with all possible career pathways out on the market, and have an overview of all knowledge and skill-sets necessary for a career shift from academia into industry. One of the most attractive features of this summer school was the interactive lectures with all invited industrial leaders and experts. Over its user-friendly platform, we as participants got to enjoy very decent discussions with the speakers. And through the encouraging spirit of all participants, moderators, and speakers, we actively built social connections on LinkedIn, this is definitely something I don't get to experience in many other summer schools happening in Germany. I am very impressed with the open-mindedness in the Netherlands.

Due to the corona crisis, the 2020 edition of the BioBusiness Summer School was the first online edition of this course. The organizers and speakers adapted absolutely great to this situation to give the participants the best experience during this amazing week. It was a great opportunity to hear lectures about important aspects in the life sciences business like intellectual property rights, business development, regulatory affairs and finance models. The program was completed by helpful information about career options in the life sciences industry as well as advice for career planning and job applications. I would highly recommend this course to PhD students and Postdocs, especially those contemplating a career switch from academia to industry.

These challenging times require young professionals to pave new paths and BioBusiness Summer School 2020 provided an excellent platform for them to get insights on life science industry, its innovation and hear inspiring stories of success.

The BioBusiness Summer School was above my expectations. After a week of listening to inspiring life stories of the speakers, receiving tools and complete information about business in Life Sciences, and deep networking with participants and speakers, I feel motivated and prepared to invest in a successful career in industry.
