Red Pigments for LCD Color Filters
Development of a new pharmaceutical product
You have studied (organic) chemistry and you would like to get an insight in the daily business of a BASF researcher? In this workshop you will work together with experts from BASF on a project aimed at the development of a new high performance pigment color filters in Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD). The different steps and work processes required to successfully setup a research project in an industrial environment will be elaborated. That includes for example the evaluation of different approaches regarding performance, economic and ecological aspects and their fit with BASF's strategy and values.
Millions of compounds are typically screened for pharmacological benefits. About 100 discovery approaches enter the research funnel each year. During research candidates are eliminated for various reasons, sometimes based on very limited knowledge. The decision which candidate to bring into clinical development is a crucial and often it is a true dilemma.
≥ www.basf.com
In this workshop you will be member of an executive development decision board. You will have to apply decision criteria, to assess and mitigate risks. You will be presented cases in which you will need to assess technical feasibility, clinical benefits and market situation. A special role will play the development of biotechnologically derived new medicines, especially biosimilars. ≥ www.merck.com ≥ www.msd.ch

Optimierung der Prozesse und Herstellkosten
Analytik in der Forschung und Entwicklung
Research & Development in Syngenta Crop Protection
In der Vergangenheit kamen in den Medikamenten relativ einfache Wirkstoffe zum Einsatz. Diese wurden in grossen Mengen produziert und zielten auf vielfaltige Anwendungsgebiete. Heutige Medikamente fokussieren auf spezi fische Anwendungsgebiete und werden in viel kleineren Serien hergestellt. In diesem Workshop erarbeitest du Ideen, wie ein internationales Pharma unternehmen im Spannungsfeld zwischen steigenden Anforderungen (Qualität, Gesundheit, Sicherheit, Umwelt) und anhaltendem Kostendruck erfolgreich agieren kann. Der Fokus soll dabei auf der Optimierung der Prozesse und Herstellkosten liegen, ohne Qualitätsrisiken einzugehen oder internationale Standards zu verletzen.
In immer mehr Branchen im Bau und der Industrie werden die Anforderungen an einzelne Materialien und vor allem an deren Werkstoffverbundsysteme immer höher. Um den wachsenden Ansprüchen gerecht zu werden, existiert im Sika Konzern eine sehr gute Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Forschung und Entwicklung, Qualitätssicherung, Produktion und Analytik.
The participants will be given a brief presentation on the background of Syngenta, together with some information on how Syngenta scientists approach the invention and development of new agrochemicals. This will be followed by a carefully structured workshop, consisting of modules based on real industrial activities. It will be held in English, with some support in German and French if necessary.
≥ www.cilag.ch ≥ www.careers.jnj.com
In diesem Workshop wirst du anhand eines praxisnahen Beispiels einer typischen Problemstellung aus dem BauBereich einen Einblick in die analytische Arbeitsweise erhalten. Die Sika Experten werden hierfür eine Einführung in die analytischen Methoden geben und zusammen mit dir eine Problemlösung erarbeiten. Das Ziel des Workshops ist die Verknüpfung analytischer Messergebnisse zur Lösungsfindung für ein gegebenes Problem, wie bei CSI.
The overall aim of the workshop is to illustrate in an interactive and enjoyable way how scientists in Syngenta approach the invention and development of new products. At the end of the workshop, participants will have a better understanding of how research and development scientists in Syngenta work together to achieve technical goals as well as the issues which need to be considered. ≥ www.syngenta.com
