Entrepreneurship tutorials with University Research and Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Legal specialists and FRONTIER IP on:
In the two days before the entrepreneurship part, Research Fellows will present their project proposals, address feedback on methodological and theoretical issues and discuss the potential impact of their research and possibilities for exploitation. This workshop will provide early screening for commercialisable ideas and allow IP protection mechanisms to be put in place if necessary. Practical work will include creative problem solving and brainstorming to find innovative solutions for problems posed by local businesses.
