CESPE
The CESPE Academy provides a wide array of basic and specialized courses in divergent (bio)pharmaceutical fields and can comprise out of:
o Single or multi-day courses
o Theoretical (interactive) and hands-on sessions
o Networking opportunities (during lunch and/or optional networking dinner)
An overview of the courses that are currently available within the CESPE Academy can be found below.
The courses given within the CESPE Academy target academic and industry professionals within the (bio)pharmaceutical industry:
o PhD and Post-doc researchers
o Master profiles
o Company specific research groups
People from other industries are free to join these courses, however most of the use-cases and examples used during these trainings are based on the (bio)pharmaceutical industry.
One of the core values of CESPE is providing talent & skills for the (bio)pharmaceutical industry.
CESPE wants to achieve this by bringing together all the expertise and talent that is present within the diverse cluster of CESPE academic and industrial members.
Through the years, each of these members gathered large amounts of knowledge, either through academic research or industrial collaborations.
Rather than keeping this knowledge in-house, CESPE aims to share it with all the relevant players within the (bio)pharmaceutical industry.
The demand from the (bio)pharmaceutical industry and our own goals to share the knowledge led to the creation of the CESPE Academy.
PHARMAFORGE brings together top-tier Flemish and Dutch partners to build a shared high-throughput innovation platform and to invest in next‑generation talent. The project aims to speed up the entire drug development process – from discovery to production. PHARMAFORGE is an Interreg multipartner project uniting the biopharma industry on the Flanders – South Netherlands border and funded by the European union.
The project collaborates with CESPE Academy to provide access to targeted talent development focused on drug development and production. For more information about the project, please visit https://www.pharmaforge.eu/
