Info Session on the ERA TALENT Call for Multiplying the Impact of EURAXESS Startup Hub

The ERA TALENT Call for Multiplying the Impact of EURAXESS Hubs offers distinct, targeted financial support to parties that are EURAXESS members but do not directly participate in the ERA TALENT project. If you are interested to contribute to and join with EURAXESS Startup Hub in the thematic area of scientific entrepreneurship careers, join this webinar to find out more about the exciting opportunities of assisting the researchers in this novel niche.

Why join the EURAXESS Startup Hub?

The EURAXESS Startup Hub is a networked program of support to sci entrepreneurs, namely researchers of all career stages who want to extend their career goals towards the startup entrepreneurship. The program is co-founded by the research and funding organizations from 7 countries, with participation of tens of external stakeholders, the prominent actors in national startup ecosystems of the above countries, such as innovation-driven universities, incubators and accelerators, professional associations, industry chambers and others. To learn more about the EURAXESS Startup Hub, visit our digital toolkit here.

Our mission is to implement targeted actions with the aim of producing clear, short-term, qualitatively high impact that will help EURAXESS Startup Hub to build the recognition and reputation among researchers, as a credible scientific startup entrepreneurship support infrastructure. The examples of such actions are EURAXESS Startup Hub Tours, fully funded short-term group study visits for sci-entrepreneurs to established ecosystems, and EURAXESS Startup Hub Leadership Academy, offering a series of webinars to enable the transition from the academic to entrepreneurial settings.

Supporting scientific startup entrepreneurship is a novel EURAXESS niche. We are still exploring and developing the capacities of EURAXESS members and especially EURAXESS Career Development Centers and their relevant external partners (namely, entrepreneurship support departments, etc.) to embrace this goal. We are strongly committed to significantly widening and strengthening the capacity of the hub to make a real impact on sci-entrepreneurs’ careers in Europe. We do realize that such an ambition can be justified only by the high level of participation of diverse EURAXESS members with relevant experience and interests.

The benefits of joining the hub are multifold and all of them are deeply grounded in the novel opportunities arising from teaming up with the group of highly committed and passionate professionals and organizations they represent. We have already seen (during the implementation of EURAXESS Hubs project) the strong evidence that local outreach of hub members grows exponentially with being in position to actively contribute to EURAXESS Startup Hub activities and sharing and advertising their results locally. Joining the EURAXESS Startup Hub puts you in a position to widen the range and multiply the impact of your activities locally by benefiting from access to an already established, strong international pool of expertise.
