Transcription

1 10th International Life Science Meeting IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems March 28 th - 29 th, 2013 Since the beginning of the study programme Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology in 2002, International Life Science Meetings have been held every year at the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems. The International Nano-Biotechnology Congress about Scientific and Clinical Applications of Magnetic Carriers at our University of Applied Sciences in Krems in 2006 was our largest conference. It brought together 380 foreign scientists, engineers and clinicians from 43 countries with our 220 biotechnology students. This year s 10 th International Life Science Meeting will focus on the orientation of the degree programme Medical and Pharmaceutical as well as our current research topics. We can proudly announce that the Wednesday late afternoon session will be hosted by graduates from our study programme. They will share their experiences from industrial projects as well as those related to PhD-studies in Austria and other countries. The meeting is also a great opportunity to thank our partners and lecturers for their support throughout the last years.
