New program to promote entrepreneurship in scientists, launched by ITQB NOVA and Nova SBE

Startup Research NOVA

StartUp Research, a new graduate programme to foster entrepreneurship skills in young scientists is launched today, as a partnership between a research institute (ITQB NOVA) and a School of Business and Economics (NOVA SBE). For 3 months, scientists will learn how to turn knowledge and ideas into value by learning with researchers, entrepreneurs and companies. This new course wants to bring economic and business skills as part of the scientific training of a PhD.

”We have been training top researchers for 25 years, who continue their careers in Portugal and abroad. We know how to train scientists and now we want them to know how to recognize business opportunities with the knowledge they generate. We want to train scientists who can also create companies and jobs, while giving the knowledge back to society in the form of products that can be useful."
