Life Sciences and Urbanization BACKGROUND HISTORY


Following the success of the first World Life Sciences Forum BioVision in 1999, it was decided to further integrate the concerns and expectations of the younger generation of PhDs, Postdocs and MBAs.  Consequently, the BioVision.Nxt initiative was launched in 2001.

BioVision.Nxt 2001 and the subsequent 2003, 2005 and 2007 programmes were fully integrated with BioVision itself and offered opportunity for meeting and networking with Nobel Laureates, key scientists and many renowned experts in healthcare, agriculture – nutrition and the environment.

The most recent “Class of 2009” welcomed 90 young leaders coming from 30 countries: 37% from Europe, 19% from America, 15% from Africa, 12% from Asia, and 10% from the Middle East.
