About EITM Doctoral - Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program, Other - at EIT Manufacturing

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program at the EIT Manufacturing Doctoral School allows Manufacturing PhD students to gain and develop the skills and capabilities needed to valorize their expertise and research into the market.

It is organized over two years and in two tracks:

  • Awareness & Orientation Track
  • Business Creation track

Awareness and Orientation track

The version of the I&E Program that is called “Awareness and orientation track” is meant for PhD students that haven’t yet the intention to start an entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial project in the short term, but want to learn what steps should be taken, in order to be able to use that knowledge in the future.

Business Creation track

The version of the I&E Program that is called the “Business Creation track” is meant for those PhD students that want to valorize knowledge, research findings, and related market insights, ready to become an entrepreneur or intrapreneurs.

Track structure

Each track consists of two one-year programs: In year 1 the participant starts with learning “How to develop a business idea”, and in year 2 the participant continues exploring “How to validate a business idea and how to prepare for a launch”. For more info about the program, you can download the brochures here.

You will be offered a toolbox and methodologies to be applied directly on a real business project that has been developed or is going to be developed along the program. You will be immersed into an international and vibrant community and you will travel to different locations across Europe for the onsite activities!

Program structure:

The I&E program activities go from April to December, with a welcome ceremony in March 2023. It is delivered in a blended mode: with online activities throughout the year and 3 onsite events:

Then, after ‘class’, your instructor will give you an action plan in which you apply the learning objectives on your entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial manufacturing project and reflecting how they could valorize in one way their research project in the future.
