Entrepreneurial Mindset and your Research

New

Funders of academic research and employers of researchers are increasingly valuing individuals with entrepreneurial spirit and a broader set of skills that can be used to innovate and create impact from research.

Researchers with these skills are at an advantage when applying for permanent academic positions, securing research funding, or pursuing commercialisation opportunities.

This interactive session will introduce you to:

1 what an entrepreneurial mindset is and how all researchers can adopt and develop this to pursue their interests
2 the frameworks and tools that are used in the startup world to create compelling business opportunities
3 how you can adapt these to support innovative research, create impact, and secure grant or fellowship funding
4 how to create your personal "elevator pitch" to introduce yourself and create new opportunities at networking events or to future employers.
