Entrepreneurship for Doctoral Candidates and Post-Docs

The workshop aims at providing a first comprehensive introduction into entrepreneurial thinking and acting. The participants will get theoretical and historic information on entrepreneurship in germany, especially regarding entrepreneurial activities in higher education institutions. Afterwards, an interdisciplinary workshop follows where the particants learn (in a highly action oriented approach), how entrepreneurs can use their networks for entrepreneurial success, how ideas can be generated and how these ideas can be turned into business concepts. The students will work with different business modelling tools to understand how to approach an idea to make it successful and how innovative financing models can help building a sustainable project (or busines). At the end, the participants will get the chance to bring their knowledge into reality by playing a startup simulation game that was invented by the workshop hosts. After the workshop, the participants will be able to generate their own ideas in their specific fields and build a sustainable project or business model.
