From Top Level Sience to Top Level Business
Content and aim of the workshop series
In our event “From Top Level Sience to Top Level Business”, we want to get you excited about the topic of entrepreneurship. Together with external speakers and start-up experts, we are organising a series of workshops that will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to develop your own product idea and application-oriented solutions. In addition to start-up-relevant know-how, the personal experience reports of successful founders, many of whom come from basic research at RUB, also provide exciting insights into everyday start-up life.
