Event Description

Copenhagen Life Science Summit ’17 
Are you an individual interested in Life Science and want to explore and expand your knowledge of opportunities in academia, innovation and industry?

Synapse – Life Science Connect will be hosting the inaugural Copenhagen Life Science Summit ’17 (CLSS) on Friday May 5th. Six prominent, extremely skilled and visionary professionals will elaborate on subjects relevant to life science.

The distinguished speakers will discuss the current state of the life science industry and what the future is likely to hold. Subjects such as innovation, stem cell research, bacterial synthetic biology and the resulting opportunities and challenges will be elucidated. The speakers are invited to share their inputs on these subjects from an inspiring personal angle. The conference will also include a panel discussion with the theme "Are Danish universities promoting employability well enough?".  Moreover, there will be ample opportunities for the participants to network with each other and get in touch with our partner companies, from the life science industry, which will be present at the summit with a stand.
