SPARK Europe Webinar Series
SPARK Europe is collaborating to provide enhanced education on translational research and technology transfer!
The SPARK Europe Webinar Series is a monthly online event that takes place every first Wednesday of the month from 16:00 to 17:00 CET.
Organized by SPARK sites across Europe, including Israel—SPARK-BIH, SPARK Finland, SPARK FLI, SPARK Poland, SPARK Tel Aviv, SPARK Norway, SPARK Denmark, SPARK Zürich, and SPARK at the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University—this series brings together top experts to share their collective knowledge and experiences.
The webinars cover a wide range of topics relevant to drug, medical device, and diagnostic development, with a particular focus on translational medicine. The goal is to provide academic scholars with the principles of these fields, while also addressing challenges such as design thinking and the complexities of selling high-tech products.
In addition to educational lectures and panel discussions, the series now features a new format, the Innovator Café, where seasoned entrepreneurs and young CEOs share their success stories and lessons learned, focusing on the Dos and Don’ts of entrepreneurship.
The SPARK Europe Webinar Series is open to all staff and students from SPARK-affiliated institutions. Keep an eye on the Events page for upcoming sessions.
