The annual Industry and Innovation Days took place at the Alte Brauerei, organised by the School of Translational Medicine at the Mannheim Medical Faculty (STMM) and closely linked to the Spring School of the International Master of Innovative Medicine (IMIM). A total of around 75 Master's students, doctoral students, postdocs and young scientists took advantage of the event, which focusses on translational research and innovation, as well as career paths in industry and elsewhere. In addition to a keynote speech on artificial intelligence and lectures on effective presenting and networking, there were also many opportunities for personal exchange with representatives of various companies, from start-ups to big pharma, and different institutions from the Rhine-Neckar region.

As part of the curriculum in the International Master in Innovative Medicine (IMIM), we organized IMIM Spring School for our students from Mannheim (MSc TMR), Groningen (The Netherlands, MSc MMIT) and Uppsala (Sweden, MM MM/MR). It was a week full of interaction, learning and enjoyment. After personal development workshops and participation in the STMM Industry & Innovation Days, the Mannheim Castle visit was as a final excursion highlight.

It has also  helped to expand professional networks, fostered meaningful friendships, and provided a unique opportunity to explore the depths of Japanese culture.'
