Are you familiar with Postdocs to Innovators? In collaboration with several higher education institutions, they offer entrepreneurial training for early career researchers. Whether that’s taking their research and turning it into a business venture or marketable product, or putting together a start-up, there are many applications for this type of training.
There are three events coming up:
p2i Workshop
The workshop provides a number of benefits, even if you’re not going down the entrepreneurial route. Would you like to apply for fellowships or funding more effectively? Want to be able to talk about your research to non-specialists?
The p2i Workshop takes place on 24 March between 9am and 1pm (GMT).
p2i Online course
Wondering how to get your research funded? How to get your venture funded? How to get hired?
Gain the entrepreneurial mindset and know-how to feel confident, prepared, and more likely to convince them to say 'Yes'.
The p2i Network online course is designed to give postdoc researchers the tools, skills and confidence to get out there and secure support for their research or business ideas.
The cohort start date is 24 April and runs until 18 June.
Apply by 13 April
