Have an impact with your research - make a change! On September 04, we will kick-off the modular workshop series RISE (Research, Innovation, Science and Entrepreneurship) in a short online-session.
- Are you a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher, affiliated with the University of Stuttgart?
- Do you have a general interest in the topic of founding a business, or are interested in specific modules?
- Do you want to meet and exchange with peers, beyond your own disciplinary background
- Are you keen to take away new skills and knowledge to use in your future career?
We highly recommend you to take part in this session if you answered to at least one of the questions with “yes”!
Throughout this organizational session, we will introduce to you the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Science (ENI) and our activities within the project Elements4Founding, tailored specifically to PhD and Postdoctoral researchers.
You will take away useful information on the career opportunity of founding your own business within the structures of the University of Stuttgart, learn more about what is coming up next in the qualification program, and get the chance to ask questions. We will also give you an introduction to support and funding options for early career science-based startups.
