On the 8th of March the first "introduction to entrepreneurship" boot camp was held at PLNT specifically for PhD researchers at the LACDR. During the two hour block topics such as "the core of entrepreneurship", "spotting opportunities" and "what is your value proposition" were discussed.

Courses, business premises for startups or help applying for patents: there are many ways the university can help students or researchers with their businesses.

This Thursday saw the launch of PLNT The Hague, an entrepreneurial hub where Campus The Hague students can learn all about entrepreneurship. They will have the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills, build a network and begin an innovative startup.
