The purpose of the Hands-on Training is to enhance the technical knowledge and capabilities of vaccine and biopharmaceutical manufacturers from LMICs in the processes of vaccine research, development, and manufacturing. The focus is on providing extensive hands-on training in industrial facilities, enabling participants to gain practical experience and a deeper understanding of the intricacies involved in vaccine production.

The training also supports participants in applying newly acquired skills to enhance vaccine production capabilities in their home institutions through strategic collaborations among local biomanufacturers, the Korean National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (K-NIBRT), Korean Vaccine Center for Assisting Safety and Technology (K-VCAST), K-Bio health OSONG Medical innovation Foundation (KBIO) or the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), thereby contributing to the ongoing enhancement of LMICs’ biomanufacturing capability.
