Summer School 2019
One of the highlights of my Summer School was meeting an entrepreneur through the program. It was very impactful. I also enjoyed the combination of theory and practical activities, like the Lego Serious Play workshop. I definitely feel that the lectures and coursework prepared me to think more as an entrepreneur.

Summer School 2019
The Summer School program at GBSB Global Barcelona was outside of my core medical studies. I chose the course as I felt it was a good idea to complement my skills and focus on digital business and innovation. One of the highlights of the program was undoubtedly the excursion to the Amazon Fulfilment Centre.
