How do you create impact out of research? How do you turn your research into action? Could I, and should I, commercialize my research? Do I have to leave academia, and can I ever return? What does science-based entrepreneurship or academic entrepreneurship mean? These questions — among many others related to the area of science to impact — are being pondered by many researchers and academics.

From Lab To Market is an event series that helps you find the answers and where you’ll get to know people with similar questions in mind. You can listen to inspiring stories of scientists turned entrepreneurs, exchange thoughts over coffee on creating impact from research, and network across disciplines and organizations.
