The Scientist2Entrepreneur (S2E) program is now accepting applications for its winter 2023 offering.
The program guides STEM graduate students from across Canada in exploring entrepreneurship and discovering the possibilities to transform academic research into world-changing technology. Through 11-weeks of virtual content, this free program supports graduate level researchers and faculty in STEM fields who want to explore opportunities and challenges in entrepreneurship as an alternative career path. S2E serves as a great learning opportunity for those interested in early-stage entrepreneurship knowledge, or who may like to go on to participate in more intensive commercialization training programs. Participants take part in weekly 1 hour workshops, with optional readings and videos during the week. The program was first designed by Concordia University and is now being delivered across the country with support for Dal Innovates. To learn more or apply, visit the S2E website.
