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

The Summer School program at GBSB Global Barcelona was outside of my core medical studies. I chose the course because I thought it was a good idea to complement my skills and focus on digital business and innovation. One of the highlights of the program was definitely the field trip to the Amazon Fulfillment Center.
