A message from CNAS Dean Kathryn Uhrich:


From a Merck friend and former VP of R&D.  If I was a grad student or postdoc, I’d already have my application in.  Main points are highlighted:

The Innovation Cup is an initiative for post-graduate students in natural sciences, computer sciences, and business administration to attend a training program near Frankfurt, Germany. All travel, food and accommodation expenses are paid by us.

Postdocs and post-graduate students on their way towards a PhD in biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, biotechnology, computer sciences, data sciences, biochemistry, pharmacy, engineering or related fields are invited to apply

Please share and I’m happy to review applications.

Kathryn
