Set to take place July 19-25, 2025, near Frankfurt, Germany, The Innovation Cup supports the professional development of graduate and post-doc students interested in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and digital industries. Through a series of lectures from business managers and researchers, participants will learn about the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, the students will be divided into teams to develop business plans, with the best plans awarded cash prizes. Teams will work on innovative projects in areas such as Smart Manufacturing, Digital Health, and Green Chemistry.

The student application deadline is January 31, 2025.

All travel, food, and accommodation expenses are paid by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.

We strongly encourage University of Utah graduate students and post-docs to take advantage of this opportunity. This opportunity is only available to institutes that are members of NIIMBL (the University of Utah recently became a member of NIIMBL - learn more here.)
