Do you want to find out how your career might develop working for industry, the differences between industrial- and academic-driven research and how the industrial environment matches your career ambitions?
Are you interested? If you are (a) an Early Career Researcher (normally at year 3 or later of PhD training or on your first post-doctoral position in an academic environment but potentially in the early stages of an industrial career) and (b) working in the area of bioprocessing of biopharmaceuticals or novel biological therapeutics then this could be an ideal opportunity for you. It is likely that you are already working on a project that has an industrial collaborator but this is not essential.
The week-long residential programme is co-organised by BioProNET2 and E3B (a BBSRC Network in Industrial Biotechnology and Bioenergy, BBSRC NIBB) and is possible due to funding from the BBSRC. Participation will be limited to 18 attendees. Your accommodation, meals and all training activities will be provided to eligible applicants. Each participant will be asked to make a £150 non-returnable contribution for registration once their acceptance of a place is confirmed.
Formal REGISTRATION is now open and you can make informal enquiries to Dr Jo Flannelly (joanne.flannelly@manchester.ac.uk).
Sessions form part of an integrated package that culminate in a Dragons Den-type pitch for establishment of a novel business concept:
