And the winners are…

Sorø, Denmark, 25 October: The first World Talent Campus is over. After one week of lectures, workshops and networking, the participating students from leading universities around the world made their final presentations at the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Science Center in Sorø.

Since Wednesday morning, the students have been teamed up in a workshop with four colleagues and a representative of the industrial members of the BIOPRO consortium. Each team has been working to find the solution to a specific problem. As part of the workshop the groups have visited the relevant industrial partners.

“I believe it’s fair to say that the first WTC has been successful. We’ve been impressed by the energy and skills that the participants have invested in the very intensive programme”, says Managing Director Jesper Bryde-Jacobsen, BIOPRO.

“We have every reason to thank the partners, the Science Center and everybody else who have contributed to a very professional performance.”

The participants have all gone through an application process before being selected for WTC course by the BIOPRO steering committee. The students have been awarded 3 ECTS-points.
