We thoroughly enjoyed the 5th ETN school “Research, Innovation Entrepreneurship” in Novartis campus, Basel. The main highlight was gaining a perspective on what it is like to work in the research sector of a high-profile Pharmaceutical company. We were fortunate to meet and interact with scientists from Novartis, who shared their experiences as well as their current cutting-edge research with us. In addition, we benefited from lectures on entrepreneurship given by experts from various disciplines. Overall, the last ETN of our CaSR Biomedicine consortium was fun and motivating!
