Medicon Valley Life Science Tour 2007

25 September 2007 / Novozymes, Ideon Science Park, Active Biotech and MVA / Medicon Valley

How do you build a biotech success? As part of the MVA 10 year anniversary, MVA has invited 50 high school students from Medicon Valley on a guided one-day tour to explore the region's biotech successes. The goal of the tour is to attract the students' interest in life science and demonstrate the science and business opportunities present in the region.

After the tour the students will be asked to hand in a contribution to the Medicon Valley Life Science Essay Competition. This could take the form of a short essay (3 pages), a webpage or a PowerPoint presentation. The instructions for the competition will be handed out at the end of the Life Science Tour.

The creator of the winning contribution will be awarded a prize of 5.000 DKK at MVA's 10 year Jubilee on 30 October. The second and third price winners are awarded with 2.500 DKK each.
