Our students testify

The Living Lab approach is a favorable place for research and plays a catalytic role in breaking down the semi-transparent walls between different expertise. What a joy to be able to do research in such an environment! I recommend that candidates adopt the Living Lab approach from their first days in research, that they do not hesitate to ask questions, and find the most qualified person to answer them.

The support offered by the TransMedTech Institute for an internship is, in my opinion, one of the strong points of the training program and demonstrates the importance given by the Institute to the career plan of the trainees.

In addition to adding value to my academic record and enhancing my curriculum vitae, this scholarship offered by Transmedtech has greatly contributed to the progress of my doctoral project, but also to the development of the skills necessary for the success of my professional project.
