Whether you’re a doctoral student, researcher, engineer, technician, or involved in innovation and valorization, here are five reasons why you should follow the MOOC Science and Entrepreneurship: The Fundamentals:

Reason 1: Solving Societal Problems

For a scientist, entrepreneurship isn’t just about profits. It’s about identifying and addressing unmet societal needs. Like researchers, entrepreneurs seek solutions. In this MOOC, you’ll discover the intersection between research and entrepreneurship and explore various ways to connect the two.

Reason 2 : Test Your Entrepreneurial Spirit

If you want to amplify the impact of your research on society, whether through sustainable technologies or social innovations, entrepreneurship is your path. But before diving in, assess whether you’re cut out for it. This MOOC provides the introspection needed to test your entrepreneurial mindset.

Reason 3: Benefit from a Variety of Expert Advices

Being an entrepreneur is akin to being a Swiss Army knife. In this course, we’ve brought together several experts from diverse fields and backgrounds to share their insights with you. These experts include economists, business leaders, financing specialists, and business coaches. Through their video interventions, you’ll explore all the steps leading to your product or solution prototype and the development of your venture.

Reason 4: Take Concrete Action on Your Project

For each module in the course, a downloadable “Challenge” sheet invites you to put into practice the advice and theoretical knowledge gained during the course. It also provides document templates and supporting materials. You can directly apply these resources to your own entrepreneurial project if you already have one.
