Visit by a Walloon scientific delegation

We had the pleasure of welcoming His Excellency Dr Adrien Dolimont, Minister-President of Wallonia (Belgium), accompanied by an academic delegation bringing together representatives of the FNRS, the Catholic University of Louvain, the University of Liège, the University of Mons, the University of Namur and the Université libre de Bruxelles, for an official visit focused on exchange and the discovery of the Swiss innovation ecosystem.

Welcomed by our Director, Dr Nicolas Durand, together with the Director of Switzerland Innovation Park West EPFL, Mr Antoine Jourdan, the delegation had the opportunity to discover the infrastructure and activities of the Campus Biotech Foundation through dedicated presentations and a guided tour of the site.

This meeting formed part of a shared ambition to strengthen scientific and technological exchanges between Switzerland and Wallonia, notably through the promotion of research, innovation and the impact of new technologies on society. We hope this will help foster future bilateral collaborations, particularly in the field of life sciences.
