4. Researchers Beer

Academia Raetica

Casual conversations on research for everyone

Location: Kulturplatz Davos
Start: 6.30 PM

The Davos research institutes ARI, CK-CARE, PMOD, SIAF and SLF employ more than 300 researchers – and many times that number of research-interested locals and guests populate the “Science City”.

With the aim of encouraging interaction, Academia Raetica (www.academiaraetica.ch) and Kulturplatz Davos (www.kulturplatz-davos.ch) have launched the “Researchers Beer” on the first Tuesday of each month.

Special guest, July 5: Vitalijs Zubkovs

Dr. Vitalijs Zubkovs, project leader at the CSEM in Landquart, will talk about the challenges he has to face on the way to his own start-up. His start-up aims to provide a low-cost, miniaturized device for continuous glucose monitoring that can be manufactured on a commercial scale.

Starting at 5 p.m., Dr. Nico Tschanz from the SME Center Graubünden and Mathias Caprez from the Curia AG invite researchers to the info event "The path to your own start-up!": How can researchers become entrepreneurs? How to create a start-up with a patent? What should be considered from a financial and legal perspective? What obstacles can arise. Those interested, please register with Daniela Heinen (daniela.heinen@academiaraetica.ch) by Friday, July 1.

Both events will be held in English.
