BioRN together with Merck organised the ‘Heidelberg Science Day’, a one-day event focusing on open innovation and the identification of new partners within the life science hot-spot Rhein-Main-Neckar region, with its core in Heidelberg.  The BMBF funded ‘Health Axis Europe Partnering’ (HAEP -) project in which BioRN has the project lead works as interface between innovation seekers and innovators for an effective matching, towards innovation and productive industry-academia relationships.
