Data-driven Approaches in Life Sciences

Collaboration with a knowledge institution can help boost your innovation. Academic research facilities and consortia provide services to companies. The Science Park invites you to meet and engage with some of our knowledge partners. On May 9th we welcome Biomina, IDLab and VSC.
