Young scientists are invited to participate in the programme From Scientists to Innovators for Industry

Are you a scientist looking to move from an academic, research-driven environment to an industrial career?

The team of the PACT4Ukraine Project (Piloting an Academic Corridor in Teaching and Learning for Ukraine), implemented at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany), announces the possibility of Ukrainian researchers’ participation in the From Scientists to Innovators for Industry (FAU SCI FI 2024) programme on special terms.

From Scientists to Innovators for Industry (SCI FI) is a 3-month blended-learning program consisting of online modules (with 7 basic modules and 5 industry specific modules), webinars, mentoring sessions and rounded off by three events (kick-off, mid program and final event). This course helps you overcome that challenge with the guidance of academic and industry partners, so that you can learn from real-life cases and have the opportunity to work with experienced mentors.

This programme is for you if you’re a young scientist based in any Horizon Europe country who:

  1. Is working at a university, research institute, or clinic
  2. Is a PhD candidate in any area of healthcare – especially MedTech and Pharma
  3. Or has a Postdoc in healthcare

Duration: 23 August 2024 – 4 December 2024

Format: Programme offers two tracks: the Full Programme and the Light Programme. Both tracks involve a three-month online learning programme

Application deadline: 31 May 2024

Cost: Full programme: Participation fee €500; Early Bird fee €400; Light programme: €150

Cost (for Ukrainians only): 5 sponsored slots for Ukrainian researchers for the full programme and free participation in the light programme with no limitation on the number of participants
