Registration now open for a new edition of the "Validate Your Research" programme
The UAB Parc de la Recerca and the Graduate School are holding a new edition of the "Validate Your Research" programme, addressed to research staff in training at the UAB as a way to aid them in finding practical applications to their research projects. The registration period will be open until 10 April.
26/02/2024
The "Validate Your Research" programme offers a set of tools and methodologies to help find practical applications to research results and acquire entrepreneurial and innovation skills, while at the same time explaining the key aspects of the technology transfer ecosystem. This programme aims to help participants acquire experiential learning thanks to a joint work carried out by researchers, mentors, businesses, and regional stakeholders.
The first phase of the programme will consist in four training sessions (15, 17, 22 and 24 April) in creativity, impact, knowledge protection and funding, in which research staff will apply a business model to their project.
The second phase will consist in the mentoring phase, in which five projects will be selected from the executive reports handed in in the first phase and assigned an expert mentor to help guide participants in their hypothesis, and give them support so that they can validate their project and provide the best application for the market. This phase will last five weeks, from 29 April until 28 June, and will end with a feasible business proposal.
The selected projects will also be able to prototype their solutions from 10 to 28 June.
Finally, on 10 July the final presentation of the projects will take place, with a display of all proposals and prototypes.
To participate in the programme, please sign up before 10 April.
