Presented by R4R@Q in partnership with DDQIC Ignition Café

Traditionally, the core academic responsibilities in universities involve teaching, research, and service, while entrepreneurship has been overlooked. However, the current landscape of higher education, driven by innovation and public engagement, offers a distinct opportunity to integrate entrepreneurial pursuits with academic duties. This can enhance research and its impact by addressing real world challenges faced by the community. This session aims to demystify the challenges of academic entrepreneurship and inspire academics of all fields to consider how they can blend entrepreneurial endeavors into their professional journeys. 

* This is an in-person session only. Please bring your own lunch. Coffee, tea, and dessert will be provided.
