3. Come and join our “Open Door”,
Town Hall Session if you are interested and happen to be in the area!
Session 4: Town Hall Discussion
(Facilitator: Prabhat Arya), 5:00-5:40 pm
Will have discussion (5-8 min each) on the following points:
Promoting the team culture / helping each other / respecting each other while
reaching-out for our research goals (for
ex, setting-up collective objectives).
Promoting the entrepreneur culture within
our young faculty / researchers.
Our role models on the entrepreneurial
path.
Understanding very early on the hard realties of placing your science onto the entrepreneurial path (in India).
Aiming for knowledge-based (with IP portfolio) than service-based biotechs.
