UBCreate : entrepreneurship week for students

A novel intensive course denominated “UBCreate” has been launched last September by Agnès Nadjar within the frame of the Bordeaux Neurocampus Graduate School. This course aims at introducing students to the basic concepts of entrepreneurship and technology transfer. The course is divided into two parts :
1) online training from September to December;
2) Hands-on project in January.

From January 7 to 10, Master 2 students enrolled in the international Neuroscience Master program work with consultants on a fake business idea, write the Business Model and pitch it in front of a jury made of entrepreneurs, funders, incubators representatives, etc.
During this week, students also have the opportunity to meet with young entrepreneurs and exchange in an informal and friendly way.
