Synapse DK - Life Science Connect

🚀 Synapse Denmark releases first Impact Report and celebrates 10-year anniversary 🚀 Since being founded in 2014, Synapse - Life Science Connect has grown to become the largest network of life science students in the Nordics. Driven by passionate students, our non-profit organisation is dedicated to inspire, develop, and connect the next generation of professionals. The Impact Report highlights our achievements, pivotal role in the Danish life science ecosystem, and our vision for the future. Our impact extends far beyond numbers; it’s reflected in stories of individuals we’ve touched over the past decade. 🎉 The link to the full report can me found in the comments below the post!

What does Synapse offer you? 🤔 Maja, Caroline, and Mathias were part of Synapse for years, and although they’ve recently graduated, they’ll always be part of our community- once a Synapsee, always a Synapsee! Maja Kofod Dam-Jensen works as an Investment Officer at Innovation Fund Denmark. She says Synapse helped her build a strong network early on- and she even made some great friends along the way. Caroline de Blanck is now a business developer at the start-up Loma Therapeutics, where Synapse helped her develop skills she otherwise wouldn't have gained at university. Mathias Vesthammer joined the Novo Nordisk graduate program. He highlights that Synapse helped him develop leadership skills and confidence in public speaking. At Synapse, you’ll build skills you won’t learn in a classroom, all while having fun and actively contributing to the Danish life science sector. Want to join? All you need is to be enrolled in a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD program. 🔗 Find the link for the application to join Synapse in the comments below!
