The training was hosted by the Instituto Pedro Nunes of the University of Coimbra, an institute which hosts an incubator and an accelerator for innovative companies linked to the research activities of the University. The director of the Institute, Paulo Santos introduced the activities of the organisation to the summer school participants, who also benefited from a visit to meet some of the hosted start-ups. Another interesting visit was organised in Biocant, Portugal’s first research and business park dedicated to biotechnologies.
Finally, the summer school participants enjoyed a touristic visit to the vibrant city of Porto.
