How it works: our unique compilation for scientists

DEEP Academy is for aspiring sciencepreneurs and prepares you for a different world. For us, success means helping you thrive in your transition from a research-focused scientist to a business-minded, entrepreneurial one; regardless of your concrete ambition of simply becoming more confident in the entrepreneurial lingo, following up on future career ideas or aspiring to become a founder yourself.

We spare no effort to design entrepreneurial schedules tailored to scientists and dip into the expertise of all our founding and supporting partners. The result is always a unique combination of key ingredients that we see as our pillars of success:

1

Unlocking your potential

With our tailor-made psychometric assessment accompanying you throughout the program, we help you to discover your entrepreneurial potential, clusters of traits and motivational drivers which promote your development journey: Who is your entrepreneurial "you"? What complementary characters would help you thrive in a team? And how can you get comfortable feeling uncomfortable?
