BioEnterprise Education Opportunities
The Institute is committed to providing training to its younger scientists and PhD students about technology transfer and the process through which biomedical science is commercialised. There are a number of local and national schemes that scientists are encouraged to take part in, such as the Biotechnology Young Young Entrepreneurs Scheme and other workshops delivered at the campus.
Biotechnology Young Entrepreneurs Scheme competition 2009
Biotechnology YES aims to raise awareness of the commercialisation of bioscience research amongst postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers. Participants compete in teams to develop a hypothetical business idea with the help of expert mentors from the biotechnology sector. Workshops are held throughout the UK, feeding into a National Final with a prize of £1000 for the winning team. The 2009 YES Competition has been launched with a closing date for entries of 17 June 2009.
The workshops will take place in September, October and November with the Final scheduled for December 2009. Sponsorship has been secured from various industries. For more information and an entry form visit: www.biotechnologyYES.co.uk or contact Adam Webb, Tel: 01793 413390
