Networking

For the first time, KGI will open its campus during the summer to scientists working for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, diagnostics, and agricultural biotech companies.

This distinctive week satisfies the need many companies have for setting talented scientists on the path toward lasting and strategic contributions to the enterprise.

With seminars providing strategic perspective on management and operational areas critically important to any life science firm, the KGI Summer Institute will enable your company to tap the skills, energy, and motivation of its most promising scientists.

Program highlights

• Through classroom discussion and group interaction, participants will gain important real life "lessons learned" about functional areas critical to the success of a life science enterprise.
• Summer Institute scholars will be able to build a community of peers that can be invaluable over time for perspective, advice, and best practices.
