Research Projects
Academic Entrepreneurship and Mobility During PhD Education
This project aims to analyze doctoral education with respect to mobility and entrepreneurship aspects. In particular we are interested in following questions: (a) To what extent are collaborative projects and mobility an integral part of PhD education? (b) Do PhD students have skills necessary for commercialization and entrepreneurship and how are these skills trained during PhD education? (c) How supportive is the university environment towards commercialization of research results? We use both interview and survey method and are interested in studying similarities and differences between for example faculties, departments at the university and PhD students’ individual characteristics. This study will bring new insights in the career development of doctoral students and education policy. Adding a new dimension into the PhD education might increase academic entrepreneurship as well as collaborations between academia and industry thus resulting in more knowledge transfer and commercialization of R&D results.
Researchers: Dzamila Bienkowska, Magnus Klofsten
Participating organisations: Linköping University (AgoraLink) and University College Cork.
