Summerschool

The five day intensive Summerschool helps you to reflect upon a career in the Groninger Life Sciences. Two important career options are highlighted: science and entrepreneurship.

Participants from various disciplines (e.g., life sciences, economics, management, law, natural sciences) who are at the final stage of their studies or who have a completed MA or MSc degree or PhD are welcome.

Many life scientists have to make a choice as to whether to pursue a career in science or in an innovative company. The Summerschool offers an excellent opportunity to think about the next move. For non-life scientists the Summerschool offers the opportunity to become more familiar with the Life Sciences sector. Multidisciplinary teams are of utmost importance for a successful entrepreneurial company.

Workshops are led by top researchers, experienced entrepreneurs and business school professors who share their experiences on various topics, such as:

Do´s and don´ts of a tenure track

  • Creating value from intellectual property
  • Obtaining seed or start-up capital
  • How to apply for grants
  • How to build a scientific consortium
  • How to turn a research idea into a business concept
  • Characteristics required for becoming a successful entrepreneur
