Course Description

The programme is an initiative from the University of Oslo, in partnership with Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Karolinska Institutet, University of Copenhagen and Nansen Neuroscience Network. This course provides the skills and network for PhD students, researchers or clinicians to develop their research idea into successful businesses with a commercial output. Applicants are required to bring their own project idea, which will be the framework for the development of a business plan.

Each participant will get a business mentor, who will provide guidance and advice during the process as well as help developing the business plan. All participants will have to do a project pitching at the end of the course, where the three best projects will be awarded a money price.
