BioAlpine Cluster

European BioAlpine Convention :

Since the beginning, the BioAlpine Cluster wishes to create an international and unique moment of exchange between academia and industry. In this way is born the European BioAlpine Convention with a 1st edition at Grenoble (France) the 6th of October, 2006 and a second one in Colleretto Giacosa (Italy) the 6th and 7th of November, 2007. The next edition will be held in Geneve on december 2008.
The aim is to create an opportunity, on a European scale, for the Industrial and Academic sectors to meet to discuss a common theme, in order to:

• encourage the exchange of academic and industry experiences,
• allow the emergence of innovative new projects,
• stimulate partnerships between researchers, SMEs and industrial groups,
• offer every year on a different topic, an overview of the last recent findings thanks to conferences conducted by the most important figures in the specific field.

The three partners feel that this will contribute to the progression of medical applications.

First edition: Neuroscience innovation, an academic industrial partnership
A success for this event, which gathered about 230 people, mainly coming from the
three organizing areas but also from others all over Europe (Germany, Great Britain, Slovenia, Estonia...).
A total and fully completed mission for the organisers, who wished to make this event as a unique meeting place between researchers and industrials: the participants coming from the academic and industrial worlds were present at a comparable rate. In parallel with the conference-debates, 80 business meetings could take place during the business convention, thus allowing the research project developers in particular to
exchange with industrials and to create strategic partnerships.
37 posters selected by the Scientific Committee were presented during the event, whose great quality was emphasized by the industrial representatives. Four prizes, reaching a total of 6000 € (1500 € each) were awarded at the end of the event.
