CRG Bio-Business School 2024
The CRG BioBusiness School (BBS) is a highly interactive, activity-driven learning process that takes scientists through a concentrated entrepreneurial immersion experience; aiming to instil an entrepreneurial mindset and to ignite the ability to convert lab-ideas into business ones
The core of the program takes participants through the venture building process in small groups of participants; supported by exchanges with entrepreneurs and business experts, culminating in a pitch event. This online interactive workshop provides valuable resources such as business templates, educational material, and a communication channel to capture and maximize the inputs and outputs of the training.
Participants benefits
You will benefit from building an entrepreneurial skillset that will give you the capacity and confidence to pinpoint the added commercial value of your research, as well as to envision the creation of your own business. Independently of pursuance of the entrepreneurial path, the competencies acquired throughout the course will confer participants with an advantage in the job market as these are greatly sought by corporates, NGOs and the public sector. The online format of the program widens the networking opportunities with national and international fellows, allowing you to establish bonds with other participants and invited speakers. Besides work, there will also be fun activities to keep the group stimulated and engaged.
Expectation from participants
The CRG Bio-Business School 2024 will be a rewarding, exciting but intense program. We expect participants to be fully engaged throughout the program which includes 1,5 to 2,0 hours of homework in the evenings. You will be working in groups and so your commitment will be not only to yourself, but also to your fellow group members.
We do recognise that you continue to have your own responsibilities and deadlines. For that reason, we will be only starting at 09h30 every morning and will finish at about 16h30. In addition, there will be a 1 to 1,5-hour lunch break each day which will be for you to eat, rest (perhaps) and also keep up to date with your other tasks.
However, this will be an intense program and it would be best to have limited other responsibilities over these 5 days.
The applicants will be informed by early May if they have been accepted to the course.
