The course provides students from the ZHAW, students from partner schools in Switzerland as well as students from abroad the opportunity of an intercultural exchange and knowledge transfer in a unique atmosphere.

Among 16 lectures covering the state of the art in cell cultivation technique which will be conducted online prior to the practical program, 17 different practical exercises will be executed on campus by the students to deepen the theoretical background. The students will meet experts from the biotech industry to debate about latest trends and for more discussions outside the university building an additional social programme is planned.
