EI Commercialisation Fund Spotlight Webinar Series - Focused Call for Women in Research
Date: 20th November at 2pm
Venue: Online
Enterprise Ireland's Commercialisation Fund Programme is seeking to identify and engage with women researchers working in STEM across the Irish research system.
On average 20% of EI's total applications come from women in research and as we move into 2021 and beyond, they want to encourage more women to look at the opportunities the Commercialisation Fund has to offer.
To that end, EI are encouraging women researchers to join their new webinar series. They will be talking about the benefits of the Fund and will feature interviews with some of their real life researchers who have started the journey and diversified their career path.
The first webinar in the Spotlight Series "Academia to Commercialisation; The Road Less Travelled" will start on Friday November 20th 2020 at 2pm.
Please register for the webinar here.
