HZDR Innovators School – What is it about?
Groundbreaking research deserves to make a difference, not only in scientific publications, but in the world. At the HZDR Innovators School, we believe that your scientific discoveries can create real impact: improving lives, driving innovations and shaping a sustainable future. We provide you with the tools, knowledge and network to translate your research into solutions that matter in society, in industry and beyond publications.
Educate
We provide methods, basic knowledge on communication and development paths as well as ideas for funding or financially strong partnerships. Our basic offers are regularly supplemented by current offers.
Enable
We demonstrate and teach various methods and techniques that help scientists generate application-oriented ideas from their research and develop potential. We also support in validation and IP management.
Execute
The full potential of research only becomes apparent when it is applied – either in an established company or as a founder. We support scientists in founding, licence management and marketing.
