Dear EURAXESS members,
Within the ERA TALENT project, which is aimed at the development of services provided by the EURAXESS network (https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/), the University of Kragujevac is implementing a project related to multiplying the impact of the EURAXESS Startup Hub (https://www.euraxess.rs/serbia/euraxess-startup-hub).
The Local EURAXESS Startup Hub in University of Kragujevac (https://en.localhub.rs/) aims to bring together all researchers interested in scientific entrepreneurship, as well as organizations and business representatives who can and want to support this initiative, with the aim of connecting science and business, but also undertaking the initiative of entrepreneurship development from the side of science. Interested in supporting and participating in this initiative can join us by filling in the application form that can be downloaded here https://en.localhub.rs/about-us/.
Within this Local EURAXESS Startup Hub, a mentoring program is underway, whose participants (researchers) and reported scientific ideas within their research fields can be viewed here https://en.localhub.rs/mentoring-program/.
In this regard, we are looking for researchers who come from different research fields in which scientific ideas for the mentoring program have been reported, as well as for researchers from the field of entrepreneurship, who can contribute to the development of these ideas and want to network and connect with researchers who attend this mentoring program, with the aim of cooperation and mutual exchange of experiences within the given fields of research.
We are also looking for institutions, organizations and companies, i.e. entire startup ecosystems that can help in any way in the development of these reported ideas. The mentoring program lasts until the end of May, and in June and July a presentation of the developed business models to potential investors, i.e. organizations and companies that can provide potential grants for startup companies is planned in the form of Pitch Day.
In this regard, we invite all representatives of the startup ecosystems who are interested in hearing developed business models from various research fields to contact us and participate in this organization.
Please share this invitation with your relevant partners and other university offices.
I am at your disposal for any additional questions.
In the hope that we can work together on the development of scientific entrepreneurship through connecting science and economy.
Sincerely,
Dr. Miloš Dimitrijević,
coordinator of the ERA TALENT project
