About us > BIOTechno Network

Réseau BIOTechno is a national French network of PhDs and young researchers in Life Sciences that gathers 19 local associations all around the country.

Since its foundation in 2000, the BIOTechno Network has helped and supported doctoral students and young researchers to pursue their professional careers in the private sector. Nowadays, the BIOTechno Network is the primary contact for ministries, companies, and public research organizations playing an essential role in the development of the biotechnology sector in France.

The main objectives of the network:

• To create an active community of young researchers in the field of life science.
• To promote the skills of young researchers for the biotechnology-related industries
• Bring together the academic and the industrial milieu through the BIOTechno Forums

Opportunities provided via the network:

• Preparing for your future career steps
• Building and expanding your professional network
• Discovering new career opportunities
• Learning to value your transferable and non-transferable skill
• Gearing-up to work in the biotechnology industry

For more than 20 years, the Network has been organizing BIOTechno Forums in several major cities of France, offering young researchers to discover the biotechnology professions and professional players in this sector. The growing number of participants (students, biotechnology companies, public research structures, and promotional structures) shows the interest in organizing such events and justifies their renewal over the years.

In 2020, 3 cities were expected to host BIOTechno Forums: Paris on June 4th, Lyon on June 9th, and Strasbourg on June 17th. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization of Forum initially planned for June, has been modified by all the three cities.

• BIOTechno Paris Forum is postponed to October 5^th, 2020.
• BIOTechno Rhône-Alpes Forum (Lyon) has been canceled.
• BIOTechno Grand-Est Forum has been transformed into an online series of webinars from June 2^nd to 12^th
