Turn your research into practical impact!
As a PhD student, you create new knowledge every day. But what happens when your research results not only have scientific value, but could also provide a real solution to a social, economic, or technological challenge?
The HSUP Doctorate programme is designed for PhD students and PhD candidates who want to put their research results into practice and explore how a scientific idea can evolve into an innovation, technology, or even a startup.
During the programme, you will have the opportunity to:
- recognise the innovation potential of your research,
- validate the problem and your proposed solution,
- build a business model around a scientific development,
- connect with mentors, professional partners, and investors,
- turn your research results into social or market value.
The programme provides innovation and startup training, mentoring, hands-on workshops, networking opportunities, and financial support.
You do not need to have an established company or a fully developed business plan – a promising research idea and an open mind are enough to get started.
Application deadline: 15 September 2026
