Promoting Entrepreneurial Competence of Postdocs

- EN - DE
No 208/2018 from Aug 07, 2018 Freie Universität Berlin has joined an international network that informs postdoctoral researchers about alternatives to careers at a university and offers opportunities for qualification. Postdoc-to-Innovators (p2i) 2017 was founded jointly by the University of Cambridge, the University of Glasgow, the University of Innsbruck, and Université Paris Sciences et Lettres, as well as the companies AstraZeneca, Schlumberger, BP, and Shell. The coordinator at Freie Universität Berlin is Hannes Rothe at the Digital Entrepreneurship Hub of the School of Business and Economics. The p2i network aims to give young scholars and scientists exposure to entrepreneurial thinking and acting and to communicate related skills. This takes place in exchange with representatives from various companies, the financial sector, and successful founders from all over Europe. In qualification and mentoring courses, postdocs can gain an overview of alternatives to careers at a university and have an opportunity to prepare for them within a structured program. In addition, p2i includes a program for testing a spin-off with the participant's own ideas.
