Researcher to Innovator (R2I)
R2I is an entrepreneurship training programme for early career researchers with ambitions to develop commercial ventures or to create impact from their research.
Participants in this exciting opportunity will learn how to develop their innovative thinking and gain an understanding of how to create and develop impact.
Our short introductory session provides the background and tools necessary to apply to join the programme.
Those successfully selected and able to engage with the programme will be invited to two days of in-person training at our bootcamp. This is followed by a number of shorter sessions, culminating in an opportunity to present your findings to a panel of experts who will advise on your next best steps with a chance to gain funding to further your idea.
