Background

The p2i collaboration was created in recognition of the increasing need to develop postdoctoral researchers' entrepreneurial mindset and to provide them with a set of skills they can use to pursue careers that will be personally and professionally meaningful both within and outside of academia. 

The University of Edinburgh has joined the p2i collaboration between the leading higher education institutions and global enterprises across Europe. The p2i online course runs twice a year and provides business training, skills development and experience to ignite your entrepreneurial spark and transform postdoctoral researchers into innovators.
