2nd HBP Curriculum Workshop Series. Entrepreneurship in Neuroscience -Turning Science into Invention & Innovation

The EU-funded The Human Brain Project will be organising a curriculum workshop in Berlin, Germany, on 4-6 July, 2018.
This ‘hackathon’-style workshop is a hands-on intensive experience complementing the theoretical aspects of the online course on intellectual property rights, translation and exploitation of research.

Students will work in small multidisciplinary teams to assemble joint applied research proposals in the wide range of fields in brain science. Experienced entrepreneurs, top executives at the interface between academia and industry, and researchers from academia will present, mentor and advise on the translational aspects of the offered projects, including how to advance their proposal from the lab to market, understand the problems and accordingly define the needs in the chosen field, how to choose or identify the target population, patentability options, and how to build a business model. Finally, they will present their proposals to industry and academy experts.

The workshop is a unique experience of diving into the entrepreneurial world, learning how to incorporate innovation and entrepreneurship mindset and concepts into day-to-day research work and beyond.
