Enterprise and Entrepreneurship for Researchers

This three day course gives PhD students a chance to explore the idea of research commercialisation.

SICSA has reserved 15 places for Scottish PhD students of Computing Science and Informatics to attend this residential course at the Westerwood Hotel near Glasgow. The course will also be attended by PhD students from the SUPA (the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance) and SINAPSE (the Scottish Imaging Network) and all speakers and case studies will be chosen to be relevant to these three groups of students. Knowledge transfer and research commercialisation are no longer something 'extra' but are becoming an integral part of academic life and you're expected to demonstrate that you are engaging with this agenda when applying for funding.

Attendance is free (SICSA will pay for participation on the course as well as accommodation costs). Your University should pay your travel costs.

Please see the further information for further details and the full programme and follow the sign up instructions below if you would like to attend.

Places will be confirmed no later than 27 April 2010.
