In the PharmaNL Impact Series, we show how innovative projects come to life thanks to PharmaNL funding: what first results have been achieved, what challenges arise, and what lessons they offer to others. In this fifth episode, the spotlight is on the Groningen Human Capital for Life Sciences project, led by the LIFE Cooperative together with the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) and Hanze University of Applied Sciences. The project is developing new training modules for professionals and master’s students. With this approach, it aims to strengthen the Netherlands’ competitive position in pharmaceutical products and production technologies.
Sven Stielstra, business developer at the LIFE Cooperative, summarizes the ambition: “Our project aims to enable professionals in bioanalysis and gene technology to stay at the forefront of the rapidly changing Life Sciences & Health sector. We are developing training modules for professionals and aligning master’s education more closely with current market demands.”
