Scientist to Founder: How They Did It + Q&A

​Curious about how scientists transition from research to building companies?

Join us for an unfiltered conversation with academic founders who have made the leap. You’ll hear about the challenges, choices and everyday realities of turning research into real world impact and venture creation – what they learned along the way, what they’d do differently and who helped them succeed.

What you'll get:

• ​First-hand insights into the personal and professional journey from research to real world impact and venture creation

• ​A supportive space to ask questions about the entrepreneurial path

• ​Networking with researchers, founders and ecosystem builders shaping European innovation

​You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what it actually takes to translate research into real world impact and venture creation– and whether it’s a path you might consider.

​Who should attend:

​DPhils, postdocs and academics curious about entrepreneurship, whether actively exploring it or simply seeking to understand the landscape and meet some of the UK’s most accomplished scientist founders.
