Long-term professional development

In the age of digitalization, the importance of technically and scientifically well-educated people is greater than ever. In Switzerland, there is a shortage of skilled workers at all levels in the mathematics, computer science, natural science and technology (STEM) professions. The Swiss Biotech Association Academy program also presents various advanced training opportunities offered by academic institutions in Switzerland for the management and young professionals – national and international. These education programs are offered in cooperation with partners, and are ideal for a targeted professional development, but also for retraining or re-entry.
