There is an interesting competition for Postgraduates and Postdocs to submit a hypothetical solutions based on biotechnology. The new Biotechnology Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (opens in 2014) will provide anyone taking part commercial awareness, entrepreneurial skills but also a chance to network with key industry leaders.
This is my final year PhD and although I need to concentrate on writing my thesis, I feel that this is a perfect opportunity for me to take part before I leave my university. I am waiting for this competition to open and together with a group, I hope we can come up with a biotechnology idea to enter this competition.
Benefits of taking part
- Prize fund of £5,000
- Enhance your CV
- Develop and improve transferable skills such as communication, negotiation and team-building
- Network with industry professionals
- Increase your commercial awareness and technology transfer knowledge
