Fermilab's Cohort 6 of the Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Practicum invites researchers and engineers interested in connecting their work with direct societal impact. Participants will be exposed to core entrepreneurship and commercialization concepts and have the opportunity to practice their skills in a small team-learning environment.
Classes start May 2 and meet Thursdays at the Training Center. There is no hybrid option. No class on May 30.
The practicum is jointly funded by the Office of Science and Office of Technology Transitions of the U.S. Department of Energy, which is in direct alignment with Fermilab's mission and DOE's program objectives to develop new technologies for science that support U.S. industrial competitiveness.
