This networking event took place on 30th June at the Sky Lounge of the University of Vienna. The event was organized by the Technology Transfer Office with the aim of fostering meaningful cooperations between researchers from the University of Vienna and industry partners, enabling the translation of research results obtained at the University into pharmaceutical applications.
