Shift Happens: A 2-Day Practical Workshop for PhDs
🚀 Two days to dream, think, and make plans like an entrepreneurial scientist.
The two-day hands-on workshop has a single goal: to get a taste of business thinking. You'll get to join a team, try out different roles when completing the tasks, and be guided and supported through the process.
In just two days, you will:
Understand how solutions from labs make it into daily use by people outside.
See your research through the eyes of an outsider looking in.
Experience both excitement and dread as you work with a new team in a low-risk, high-energy setting.
Discover that entrepreneurial thinking is not mystical and that it only adds to your academic experience.
🙋♀️ Moderator and facilitator: Liis Narusk, an almost certified coach, to snap you out of your comfort zone.
