Final Pitch Session – Life Science Transfer Academy 2026

Two months of hard work, learning, and growth, culminating in one big finale! On Wednesday, 2 December 2026, the Life Science Transfer Academy Pitch Day will take place in the atrium of CEITEC MUNI.

Young scientists from the life sciences will showcase how their research is evolving into innovations and laying the foundations for future spin-off ventures.

The event will be held in English.

What can you expect? 

During the afternoon, participants in the program—PhD students, postdocs, and young researchers who have completed an intensive series of workshops, mentoring sessions, and consultations with experts in science, innovation, and business—will introduce themselves. At the Final Pitch Session, they will publicly present their projects for the first time to the professional public, industry representatives, investors, and representatives of the innovation ecosystem.  

The aim of the event is to connect the academic sphere with practical applications and create a space where new partnerships, investment opportunities, and collaborations can emerge. Guests will have a unique opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of the latest discoveries, meet their authors, and join in a discussion about their practical impact and future. The event will be held in English.
