Established in 2000. Our aim is to promote a better and broader understanding of the growing social and cultural relevance of the life sciences. We organize a variety of activities and events where members of our scientific community, scholars from other disciplines as well as members of the public can be very well informed. We began as a collaboration among several local academic institutions, and now have 3 colleges, universities, companies and research institutions to whom we are providing information and advices to help them with the specific themes they are looking for. Throughout our 8-year history, we have been instrumental in assisting over 16 companies as well as in the development and the building of technology parks throughout the world, including Japan; Sydney, Australia; Oxford, England; and Ireland. |
