Vitae - Charting an entrepreneurial career: how researchers can control their professional destiny

I've booked for this event in Bristol on 5th March -

Charting an entrepreneurial career: how researchers can control their professional destiny -

"This workshop forms part of the Entrepreneurial Institution programme
With increasing international competition, economic challenges, social change and the growing pressures of a complex and uncertain world, unlocking your enterprising capability as a researcher is vital to maximise the benefits gained from your research, to take forward your career or to start a new business."   This is because I'm involved in web related research and in mental health and exercise research, have finished my PhD, and have no funding.   I want to get back to being a professional research rather than a gifted amateur. I'm also seeing an adviser on Friday, in research meetings and events at the end of this month and booked for a college course on how to be an entrepreneur. Then there's a funding workshop in April that I'm going to.   I hope I'll find out enough to be able to collaborate with other organisations to ensure funding for their research and mine.
