About this course

This intensive blended learning course equips PhD researchers with the entrepreneurial mindset, skills, and tools to transform scientific discoveries into viable innovations. The course combines online pre-work with a hands-on, 5-day workshop series. Participants will explore the commercialization journey from ideation to market diffusion, navigate ethical and regulatory challenges, and develop compelling pitches for funders and stakeholders.
Through lectures, interactive workshops, peer collaboration, expert mentoring, and real-world case studies, researchers will learn how to identify opportunities, mobilize resources, and create value (financial, societal, and/or cultural).

Format: Blended mobility, online preparation, and 5 days on-site.
