Shara opens up scientific debate, both within the scientific community and to the general public.
Life Science Events
Shara’s Life Science Events Company - Euroscicon.com -was founded in 2001 after identifying a need for communication of Life Science research between academia and industry. The company provides a unique environment for scientists to interact and debate at highly focused, informal events.
In addition to events, Shara has expanded Euroscicon to create different science community networks, for example for PhD students and mothers working in science.
Euroscicon now also has iPhone apps, to further enable communication within different scientific communities
