After getting accepted for Phase 1 and SDG Track, you will have Check-ins in Munich or online every 3 weeks. In addition to regular program contents you will be able to get access to special workshops, coaching sessions, networking opportunities and more.
Here you have an overview of the timeline during the Life Science Track. Teams who apply for the Track, will attend the Bootcamp and Sprint, which take place together with all the other AHEAD teams. After that, there will be 3 Check-ins, that are specifically thought-out for your needs. We run this track together with Helmholtz Munich and Life Science Factory Göttingen, which means that the Check-ins will take place physically in Göttingen.
