Course overview
Technology transfer has two key facets: the science involved in the technology transfer
and the ability to create a working relationship with our partners. The former is normally
the one which is mostly taken into consideration, whereas the latter is mostly taken for
granted or ignored. However, many stakeholders from various backgrounds are involved
in a tech transfer. Moreover, In the current pharmaceutical landscape, cross-cultural
communication is almost a daily reality. As a consequence, gaining trust should never be
an after thought.
