To stimulate your entrepreneurial mind-set and to get you in contact with entrepreneurs the Doctoral Schools for Medicine & Life Sciences of the 5 Flemish universities will organize the symposium ‘The scientist as entrepreneur ’. 

Nine entrepreneurs with a scientific background will describe their way from scientist to business (wo)man. 
They will describe their career path, which good and bad decisions they have made, how it is to found a company (or several) and to be an entrepreneur.
