PH.D. COURSE IN TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP & INNOVATION

OCTOBER 4th, kl 11.00-17.00, COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

This Ph.D. course is a one-day event, aiming focusing on technology-based entrepreneurship and introduce different perspectives on innovation, entrepreneurship, business development and strategy. Throughout the day there will be short lectures from both researchers and technology driven companies, and a panel discussion, taking up the participating Ph.D.’s questions on the area of technology-based entrepreneurship. This course allows for networking with peers interested in technology-based entrepreneurship coming from various backgrounds, institutions, disciplines, and countries.

They may also register only for the Ph.D. course without having submitted a paper for the main conference. Ph.D. students attending the main conference may also attend the PhD course provided they also apply for the Ph.D. course.
