The students involved, who are about to graduate and are therefore about to enter the job market, can exchange information on the business simulation project online at the website www.scienzeeconomia.org, which hosts a news section and a forum managed directly by the students themselves. The classroom experiences, lessons held by experts and meetings with researchers and managers at the TLS bio-incubator offer the students the possibility to experience firsthand all of the phases necessary for the birth of a new company, from the purely administrative and accounting ones to those of a scientific nature.
