EVENT DESCRIPTION
What does today’s research environment look like?
We do know that labs, offices and meeting spaces are converging to form the new scientific workplace of the future. We know that these scientific workplaces need to be pleasant, well-equipped spaces where scientists want to be. Once researchers are in them, these environments must enable them to focus on their work and collaborate.
Our speaking panel, comprised of corporate real estate professionals from the Pharmaceutical industry will share, with you the 10 ingredients for the secret sauce that allows scientists to successfully focus on research and development.
