At an event hosted by Janssen, the Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, students and lecturers from University of Galway’s Health Economics Masters class met with members of Janssen’s Market Access and Government Affairs team, touring the office and participating in presentations and workshops. At the event, in recognition of academic excellence in health economics in 2023, Orla Jenkins of HIQA was the recipient of the Janssen Bursary Medal.
Since 2012, Janssen has collaborated with the University of Galway, which has provided Health Economics students with valuable placement opportunities, contributing to their professional growth.
In 2022, Janssen launched the WiSTEM2D mentorship programme with the university, designed to nurture future female leaders in healthcare specifically. WiSTEM2D stands for Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing, and Design – the initiative supports women and girls in pursuit of STEM2D studies and careers.
