2010 - 06 - 17 Activity report presentation

On Tuesday June 15, 2010, CRP-Santé presented its activity report in the presence of the Ministry of Health, M. Mars Di Bartolomeo and M. Pierre Decker, representing the Ministry of Higher Education and Research."In 2009, CRP-Santé made major efforts to initiate an economical valorization process of its research results. Besides the constant involvement of its senior leadership in public efforts towards valorization (e.g. Luxembourg BioHealth Cluster, the government-driven Luxembourg Biotechnology Initiative and multiple transnational projects (Interreg) in the Greater Region), CRP-Santé has signed a collaboration agreement with Luxinnovation and significantly extended its relationship with the private venture capitalist Vesalius Biocapital. The recruitment of a technology transfer officer, who will further build on this promising public-private partnership, was a logical next step we have taken recently. We are confident that these combined efforts will result in tangible economic outcomes in the short term.”
