Biopôle Discovery Day

The Biopôle Discovery Day is an annual event that is designed for Master’s and PhD students, academic researchers and early-career professionals, looking to stand out in the life sciences. It offers the chance to explore the Biopôle campus, learn about its various programs, discover the StartLab incubator that supports innovative life sciences start-ups, gain valuable knowledge for transitioning into the private sector, and benefit from great networking opportunities.

Biopôle Discovery Day 2024 & 2025

In 2023, based on four years of hands-on experience organizing major events, where I built strong expertise in program design, cross-functional coordination, and audience engagement. I took on the challenge of rethinking and delivering the Biopôle Discovery Day, with the  now achieved goal of boosting its appeal, and overall impact.

For two editions of the Biopôle Discovery Day, I played a key role in organizing an event that brought together over 250 participants and 40 companies. My responsibilities included:

  • Designing the event content and agenda

  • Selecting and coordinating with 7 speakers

  • Collaborating with the marketing and communications team

  • Promoting the event through partner networks

  • Budget management to ensure cost control

  • Moderating the event on the day

  • Leading the onsite team, assigning and coordinating responsibilities

  • Closing the project (feedback collection, reporting, and knowledge transfer)
