Weizmann Young European Network meets

Date: Tuesday, March 13, 2018

About 100 guests were in attendance for a gathering of the Weizmann Young European Network (WYEN) in Heidelberg, Germany, in December. WYEN is the European Committee’s young leadership club, which concluded its first year since its launch in Berlin in 2016. WYEN, which is chaired by Dr. Christian Tidona, has become a pan-European club for successful entrepreneurs and leaders who wish to explore science through the lens of the Weizmann Institute while networking with peers across Europe.

Weizmann Institute President Prof. Daniel Zajfman spoke about the Institute’s special brand of curiosity-driven research. Dr. Özlem Türeci, Co-Founder of Ganymed Pharmaceuticals, spoke about pursuing the translation of basic science into applications for industry. WYEN is planning additional events across Europe.
