Are you a student, a doctoral student or an academic or administrative employee of a university belonging to the Fahrenheit University? Do you have a flair for business and a business idea? Apply to the Molybdenum Startup School Programme, which aims to initiate and support the development of startup entrepreneurship. We are currently recruiting for the 1st edition entitled 'Test your idea'.

The Molybdenum Startup School program was initiated by the Gdańsk University of Technology and will be implemented through the Center for Knowledge and Technology Transfer PG together with the Technology Transfer Centers UG and GUMED. On the part of UG, the special purpose vehicle Univentum Labs will also participate in the programme.

The participants will be offered a workshop and training programme Startup School I 'Test your idea' and the grant programme Startup School II 'Spread your wings'. As part of the programme, beneficiaries will receive a 60-hour pre-acceleration course, expert care and business mentors, technology support from PG employees and access to coworking space.

The 1st edition of the 'Test your idea' programme is currently open for applications. Interested persons may submit their applications for participation in the programme by March 27th this year.

- 'We want to encourage the academic community to participate in projects promoting entrepreneurship and coworking. Thanks to the effective cooperation of CTT UG, CTWiT PG and CTT GUMed we managed to extend the programme's recipients/beneficiaries with students, doctoral students and employees of other universities being members of the Fahrenheit University,' - says Katarzyna Gronowska, director of CTT UG. - 'We encourage those who are looking for partners at the University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk University of Technology and/or GUMed to contact us to establish a joint team.'

More information, including the schedule of the 'Test your idea' programme with a description of planned activities can be found on the School of Startup website.

To receive a grant, you need to successfully complete the course and only then can you apply for a separate business grant. Only those with a Startup School diploma will be considered for the second stage of the grant programme.

Molybdenum Startup School is financed by the IDUB project on increasing knowledge and technology transfer under Measure V.5.
