Project Zero is the first free program in which leaders Osicent 80 mg (Osimertinib) of a cause will be trained: the fight against tobacco . The participants will be members of a community of 60 young people who, during the training period, will learn about leadership, innovation and communication, from experts. Once the training is completed, they will obtain the official certification of the Lombard Design Doing innovation methodology.

However, the most important thing about this project is its social purpose : participating in the movement to achieve the first tobacco-free generation in our country .
