Academia - PdEng/EngD

Get ready for the third edition of Radboudumc Investment Day 2023 on October 12 in Nijmegen! Jointly organized by Radboudumc, Radboud University, Briskr and Oost NL, the Investment Day is a matchmaking event for investors, entrepreneurs and top researchers in the life sciences & health domain. It is a unique opportunity to gain new business contacts and talk about the potential societal value of research with industry experts.

Our main goal for the event is matchmaking and networking. We offer several parallel sessions from top researchers, promising startups and investors. This will allow participants to pick & mix presentations to their liking and reserve time for targeted 1-to-1 meetings in between and during the program.

Feel free to check out the poster presentations from promising PhD's and inspiring product displays from various entrepreneurs during the breaks.

The Investment Day will take place at the Radboudumc Experience Center from 13.00h to 17.30h, with optional dinner and networking afterwards. To ensure a good balance between the three target audiences, the event is invite only. If you’re interested in participating, please send an email to marion.schouten@radboudumc.nl to receive further information. Please explain what you wish to bring and take from the event’s attendance.

The Science for Life conference shows high-level interdisciplinary research in fundamental Life Sciences. Utrecht scientists, students, policy makers and entrepreneurs in the fields of molecular, cellular, pharmaceutical sciences and plant biology, interact during this event. Outstanding international keynote speakers share their latest work and insights. Young Utrecht researchers present their work during the Poster Session and Parallel Sessions.

During the 2023 Science for Life Conference we expect over 400 attendees from the life sciences community at Utrecht Science Park. This is the place to meet your fundamental and technology-oriented colleagues in the Utrecht life sciences.

Science for Life is a collaboration of research groups from Utrecht University and the UMC Utrecht, in the fields of molecular, cellular and pharmaceutical sciences as well as plant biology. We operate in close interaction with the Hubrecht Institute and Princess Maxima Center and aim to build a campus-wide community for fundamental life scientists, fostering high-level interdisciplinary research.

The Science for Life Conference will take place on Monday 20 November 2023, at the Utrecht Jaarbeurs, Supernova.
