StartUp Research is a post-graduation, designed to endow Life Science researchers with an Innovation mindset. In a truly interdisciplinary approach, the programme brings scientists, entrepreneurs, and industry together, and provides all science managers and executives an advanced scientific degree aimed at managing innovation and businesses. ITQB NOVA is responsible for the technical content (e.g., innovation in biotech, intellectual property protection, project management etc.), and Nova SBE outlines the innovation and entrepreneurship side to it. In this edition, there was an extended project management unit and a new Grant Writing training.
