Outline of personal objectives for the development of the future EAPB
Based on my background, networking will be my most important objective in putting personal effort on the development of EAPB. Understandably, my perspective is a small biotech perspective. Sharing ideas, experience, collaboration opportunities between biotechs, established pharmas and institutions, especially in Europe but also placing European biotech and EAPB on the map more globally. This all means participation in several relevant biotech meetings and workshops in Europe, as a role of participants and even on the preparation phase. Networking is people business.
