Are you studying life sciences and curious about what the industry has to offer? Then you should join our OPINNO event for students!

OPINNO – open innovation – aims to bridge the gap between life sciences education and industry and to stimulate entrepreneurship among students. OPINNO offers the opportunity for students from and university or college in Belgium to connect with life sciences entrepreneurs, who will share their industry experience:

• What can a career in a life sciences company look like?
• Which assets are important as a scientist? Do you need a PhD?
• Jobs in life sciences companies: managers talk about their responsibilities, tasks and what their day looks like

To prepare yourself for the event, take a look at our practical overview, where you’ll learn more about the domains in life sciences and the entry-level jobs. During the event you can talk personally with representatives from life sciences companies. This is a unique opportunity to ask questions you may have about career opportunities in the industry, entrepreneurship, and more.

Attendance is free, but registration is required by 2 October.
