Final lecture day of our training school was kicked off by Albert-Jan de Croes, who gave a very engaging lecture on the process of creating spin-offs, covering topics such as funding, defining a business model, and securing innovation value. In the afternoon, Maria Luisa Carosso gave a very detailed overview of the process of getting funding, how to approach funding organizations, and the fundamental concepts around grant applications. Through constant exchanges with the #ESRs, she was able to correct some pre-existing misconceptions and give them basic tools useful for such an important part of research. Thanks to the speakers for their participation!
We closed our last training school with presentations from all the #ESRs showing all the amazing progress they have made over the last three years. It has been a journey filled with achievements, and that will continue towards the completion of their #PhDs. Keep up the excellent work and success will surely follow!
