Parallel Sessions
11.30 – 13.00 hrs

At Momentum, we always combine brains and business. The parallel sessions are a good mixture of the two – knowledge for new business. The parallel sessions at Life Sciences Momentum offer the perfect environment for interaction and in-depth discussions on carefully selected topics that underline the important interplay of science, business and society.

The parallel sessions are divided into five sessions. Here you will find a brief description of the sessions.
