The Competion

The idea behind the Life Science Tour is to inspire you to think about the possibilities within Life Science in Medicon Valley from your perspective. Hopefully you will strive to become one of Medicon Valleys "top players" and if so, were do you see yourself and the region in ten years from now? You can choose to write an essay, create a webpage, make a PowerPoint presentation or a poster.

Visions for the future Life Science sector in Medicon Valley

Imagine yourself 10 years from now. You are working in the Life Science sector in the Medicon Valley region. We want you to describe what kind of job you have and what your goals and main tasks are? Why did you choose to work in Medicon Valley? How is the working climate and which are the most important issues in the Life Science sector? If you want some inspiration before the tour, please take a look at our vision for Medicon Valley in 2016.
