Session 5 | IOP Genomics -
Turning Science into Business
11.30 – 13.00 hrs
Registration limit for this session
has been reached.
When the IOP Genomics programme took off some
10 years ago, the genomics field was in its infant stages.
Everything had to be learned, about the science itself, the
technologies and the best way to organise this type of
large-scale, multidisciplinary research projects in
public-private partnerships. How has IOP Genomics contributed to
the life sciences field, what breakthroughs have been
established and what have we learned for future programmes?
This session will celebrate the most inspiring research and
valorisation achievements and will take on the question how to
make society profit from science.
