Is it possible to explain a complex science in three minutes? In a location that usually hosts pop concerts? At the European Health Science Match, 100 speakers accepted the challenge. Speakers, young distinguished scientists from Germany, Europe and Israel, each had 180 seconds to put their messages across to an audience of 600 guests from universities and industry. The European Health Science Match gives unequalled insights into current research and new therapeutic projections in the battle against disease, and is a new asset in the life sciences networking world.
