Stay in Science. Start a Business. Or Both?
How can female scientists turn their research into impact – without necessarily leaving academia?
At this year’s Female Entrepreneurship Lunch Special, we explore the many paths between science and entrepreneurship: from founding a company to contributing as a scientific co-founder or advancing technology transfer.
The program includes:
Impulse talk by Fabia Gozzo, Founder & CEO of Excelsus Structural Solutions
Panel discussion with Fabia Gozzo, Katarzyna Polak-Kraśna (Sensimply/Hereon), Hiba El Hjajbi (Zymbiox) and Stephanie Maier (DESY), moderated by Saiva Huck (DESY)
Networking lunch with the science and start-up community
Join us for personal insights, new perspectives and inspiring conversations!
