6-12 APRIL 2008, POZNAŃ, POLAND
SPRING WORKSHOP FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS FROM SOUTH-EAST & CENTRAL
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES:
“DEVELOPING ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS FOR FUTURE CAREER”
The workshop is addressed to PhD students and young researchers from CEI Member States.
Our idea is to bring scientists together and provide them with the most important issues in terms of
starting up a new business, research funding, project management and science - business
cooperation. This will enable them to successfully turn research ideas into practice and plan future
career development. The participants will have a great opportunity to undertake their training in a
multicultural environment, to share their knowledge and experience, which may result in a future cooperation.
The programme of the workshop is divided into four modules devoted to:
 I. Commercialization of scientific research
Participants will have the opportunity to find out how to put their research into practice.
They will be acquainted with the most important issues of academic entrepreneurship,
including starting up a new business, intellectual property rights and research innovation.
 II. Research Project Management
Participants will learn how to draw up a project, how to monitor its progress; what an
effective time planning and financing is. This course will enable young researchers to
manage their scientific projects.
 III. Research funding through the FP7 and mobility programmes
This module will provide participants with the knowledge of the Seventh Framework
Programme (FP7), especially in the field of mobility opportunities and establishing
cooperation among different research institutions.
 IV. Communication in multicultural scientific environment
This part of training will acquire students with the rules of effective multicultural
communication, both in business and research environment.
The seminars will be held from the 6th to 12th of April 2008 at the Faculty of Physics, Adam
Mickiewicz University of Poznań. All the lectures will be given in English by experts and practitioners in
the areas of project management, academic entrepreneurship and the 7th Framework Programme.
