FH - HES

Abstract

On October 27, 2004, Prof. Dr. Daniel Gygax received the annual award for R&D of the Canton Baselland. This important prize was presented to Daniel Gygax by the minister for education of the canton Baselland, Mr. Urs Wüthrich-Pelloli. In his address the executive politician highlighted the exemplary role that Daniel Gygax plays in facilitating technology transfer between academia and industry in biotechnology. This is therefore a good reason and a good opportunity to have a closer look both at what biotechnological competences Daniel Gygax has built up at the Chemistry Department of the University of Applied Sciences in Muttenz (FHBB) and at how R&D of Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences can help foster innovation today.
