This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) presents a dynamic academic forum on Science-Based Entrepreneurship Education, with a special focus on empowering postgraduates in such tech-intensive fields as for example Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and healthtech. This session will explore innovative approaches to integrating entrepreneurial thinking within advanced scientific training, addressing the unique challenges and opportunities in preparing the next generation of science-driven entrepreneurs. The PDW speakers and facilitators will provoke interactive discussions on research and teaching of science-based entrepreneurship by sharing their latest research insights and best educational practices, challenges they already experience in teaching technology entrepreneurship to postgraduates, solutions they have developed and their vision of the future developments in the field.
