The students within this program will be in close contact with an executive mentor working in the pharmaceutical industry. This person will provide advice to the student, make contacts for them and support them in their career planning. In addition AMI will grant 100€ per month as financial support covering for individual expenses.
Students and doctoral researchers at the faculty of pharmaceutical sciences especially those with an interest in drug development and regulatory affairs are eligible for this program. Participants will be chosen by our organization on an individual basis.
