For Ivoclar, one of the world's leading providers of integrated solutions for high-quality dental applications with a comprehensive product and system portfolio for dentists, dental technicians, and dental hygienists, supporting universities and their students is an essential part of the company's philosophy. Over the summer of 2023, Ivoclar invited the next generation of dental professionals to eight different Ivoclar Academy centers across the globe: An educational Summer School program offering supplemental learning opportunities.

Learning together. Growing together.
Ivoclar's Summer School program included product training, lectures by renowned experts and professional advice on how to interact with patients and the best way to kickstart their own career. Over five days, the next generation of dental professionals got the chance to participate in a diverse program – from workshops, to open dialogues or webinars. Also offering them the chance to connect with each other and learn from experienced members of the industry.
Ivoclar's Summer School offers the ideal conditions for successful networking with peers and professionals. Participants can personally meet students from all over the world, get to know new perspectives and become part of the dental community. The opportunity for students to connect is just as important to Ivoclar as providing an exciting new learning environment. 

Summer School goes international.
After a successful start in 2022, the Ivoclar Summer School program expanded in 2023. The originally European based offer went global – now including locations in North America, Asia and yet again Europe. Students could choose freely which time and location worked best for them, coming together with like minded students from across the world.
In total over 117 students from 28 countries participated in this year’s Summer School – making every location a success. “We are delighted and happy that the program was well received by students across the world. Ivoclar values the relationships with all dental professionals, no matter where they are on their career path. We strive to offer a diverse and fitting Academy program for everybody.” says Dr. George Tysowsky, Head of Global Training and Education, Ivoclar Group.
