12th International Life Science Meeting IMC University of Applied

12th Life Science Meeting at IMC FH Krems
12th International Life Science Meeting
IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems
April 15th - 17th, 2015
Location:
IMC University of Applied Sciences,
Campus Krems, Wing G
Since the beginning of the study program “Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology” in
2002, International Life Science Meetings have been held every year at the IMC
University of Applied Sciences Krems. This annual meeting is a well-accepted fantastic
opportunity to bring together our students and team members with representatives and
partners from bioscience, medicine and biotech industry in a very fruitful and stimulating
atmosphere. Until now more than 180 guest lecturers from 38 countries were involved in
the regular bachelor and master study program. Moreover, 250 representatives from
science, industry and governmental institutions participated at our annual meetings.
Our largest conference organized so far was in 2006. The International NanoBiotechnology Congress about “Scientific and Clinical Applications of Magnetic Carriers”
brought together 380 foreign scientists, engineers and clinicians from 43 countries with
our 220 biotechnology students.
This demonstrates the international orientation of our education program.
The 12th International Life Science Meeting will focus on the mean topics of the degree
programme Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology as well as on our current research
topics. Until now governmental projects, EC-grants and collaboration with 18 biotech
companies have been completed. The research activities resulted in total funding of
around 10,5 Mio. € and more than 30 students did finish their bachelor- or master thesis
in house. Currently, six students and assistants are in PhD-programs or have finished
their thesis.
Meanwhile our biotechnology department has more than 580 graduates. 40% of them
are working in biomedical research fields and 60% in the industrial area. More than 130
graduates are in PhD programs or finished their PhD-thesis in international research- or
industrial institutions as Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, London, Dublin, Stockholm,
Groningen or in German and Austrian Universities.
We can proudly announce that the “Thursday Morning Session” and “Friday Morning
Session” will be hosted by graduates from our study program. They will share their
world-wide experiences from industrial R&D projects as well as those related to PhDstudies in Austria and in leading research institutions in other countries.
The meeting is also our great opportunity to thank our partners and
lecturers for their support throughout the last years.
