The Science-to-Business Marketing Research Centre had the privilege of hosting the "S2B Think Tank 2023" - a vibrant gathering between our team of PhD Candidates from the FH Münster University of Applied Sciences and representatives of key stakeholders of an innovation ecosystem (e.g., Industry and Startups).
During the Think Tank we dived into crucial questions:
- How can PhDs create a significant societal impact while charting a structured research career beyond academia?
- What do PhD candidates seek from industry stakeholders to contribute actively to regional innovation ecosystems?
- How can we bridge the gap between Science and business for better collaboration and understanding?
Our heartfelt thanks go to our exceptional guests, Natascha Eckert, Global Head of University Relations at Siemens AG and Anne Vortkamp, Innovation scout and Entrepreneur at REACH who infused our team with invaluable insights into research career paths beyond academia. Their experiences ignited ideas and kindled inspiration.
As Carsten Schröder, Vice-President for Cooperation, Innovation and Marketing at FH Münster University of Applied Science, said at the closing session: "This would be a typical day at FH Münster University of Applied Sciences, working with our partners in the innovation ecosystem".
We're looking forward to a "S2B Think Tank 2024," where we'll continue these vital conversations.
