The European University of the Seas (SEA-EU) has launched the Spin-Off Competence Lab, a virtual training programme designed to boost the skills of researchers for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives based on their research fields and projects. It offers virtual training through a series of webinars to acquire both the so-called "hard skills" (knowledge on intellectual property rights, innovation management) and the "soft skills" (problem solving, self-management, business skills) needed to best exploit research endeavours into business ideas and to get involved in the productive sector.
This activity is delivered within the WP3 tasks of the reSEArch-EU project which is serving to sustain the evolution of common research endeavours between the SEA-EU Alliance universities. You can obtain all the necessary information about each of the webinars from the project's .
The webinars are held and recorded on Zoom, and at the same time livestreamed on the YouTube Channel of the SEA-EU Alliance.
