Established in 1990, the Amgen Biotech Experience (ABE), is an innovative science education program that introduces secondary school/high school students to the excitement of scientific discovery and builds bridges between school and real-life biosciences. The program provides teachers with professional development and education materials and loans research-grade equipment to high schools all at no cost. Worldwide, the program has reached almost a million students to date.
Established in 2006, the Amgen Scholars Program is an undergraduate summer research experience hosted at 24 premier educational and research institutions across the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Canada. Participants benefit by conducting a research project under top faculty, participating in seminars and networking events and taking part in a symposium in their respective region. Throughout the program, participants meet peers, present their research findings, learn about biotechnology and hear from leading scientists. Financial support for students is a critical component of the program, which helps ensure that eligible students, regardless of income, can participate.
A signature component of the summer programme is the symposium where students hear firsthand from leading scientists working in industry and academia. Over the course of the symposium, Scholars have the chance to share their summer research projects with their peers and deepen their understanding of drug discovery and development.
Amgen Scholars in the Europe Programme participate in this symposium at the University of Cambridge each year.
