The research-to-startup (R2S) program teaches how to turn research, in particular doctoral studies work, into a startup. The program consists of 12 half-day workshops run over the course of four years, one workshop every four months. Each workshop addresses a key topic of turning research into a startup. The workshops build on each other and are aligned with the trajectory of a doctoral student at a university. We run the workshops every month, creating four cohorts, shifted each by a year, to allow any interested person to join on an annual basis and adjust their intake speed to their needs.
