Novartis India has announced the next edition of the Novartis Biotechnology Leadership Camp (BioCamp) taking place in Hyderabad from July 8-10, 2013.
BioCamp is a seminar organised by Novartis that brings talented students from diverse faculties and different universities closer to the pharmaceutical industry.
“BioCamp is a great platform for intelligent, young minds to interact with leaders in the pharmaceutical industry. This three-day seminar provides students the opportunity to look closer at the pharmaceutical industry and helps them make career choices, especially since healthcare is a challenging area in our country,’’ Ranjit Shahani, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Novartis India Ltd, said.
Selected students will have the opportunity to learn from and network with leaders in the pharmaceutical and business sectors as well as hone their team building skills.
Top three students from the India BioCamp are to represent India at the International BioCamp being held at Novartis global headquarters in Basel, Switzerland, from August 25-29.
Since launching the BioCamp initiative in 2004, Novartis has introduced more than 500 top graduate students to the biotech industry and entrepreneurship.
BioCamp is open to post-graduate students and young researchers in natural sciences, medicine, biotechnology, bio-informatics, pharmacy, business administration or law, interested in pursuing a career in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. The last date for receiving applications is May 27, 2013.
