Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Merck KGaA will conduct from July 3-8, 2016, the 6th Merck Innovation Cup Summer Camp, an initiative offering a chance for advanced students in life sciences and business administration programs to attend a one week training program at Merck. This initiative is designed to support the professional development of post-graduate students interested in the pharmaceutical industry and also delivers new innovative approaches covering unmet medical need.
The cup is completely free, all travel, accommodation and food are paid by Merck!
The Innovation Cup brings together a promising new generation of talent in a meeting of the generations with senior Merck managers and researchers and accomplished Merck retirees. A video showing an overview of the event and statements from previous participants can be viewed here:
Post-graduate students in the life sciences field on their way towards a PhD in biology, medicine, biotechnology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, pharmacy, engineering or related fields are invited to apply. In addition, advanced MBA students or recent MBA graduates with an interest in the pharmaceutical business and a background in life sciences are also eligible. Postdocs can apply, too!
Participants have the chance to win with their team the Merck Innovation Cup award - EUR 20,000 for the most convincing project plan worked out during the summer camp plus EUR 5,000 for the runner-up.
