The Francis Crick Institute is hosting a week-long hackathon-style event, where scientists from across the UK who are curious about entrepreneurship will form teams and come up with innovative solutions to four key challenges.

The event will culminate in an opportunity for participants to present their business proposals to a panel of industry experts and investors. Our objective is to encourage an entrepreneurial spirit and creative ideation in early career scientists, who want to explore new ways of translating research into real world solutions.

Join us to gain new skills and ways of thinking, and connect with like-minded scientists you wouldn't ordinarily meet.

Find out more on the Crick website about eligibility, challenge areas, why join, and how to apply. 

The Innovation Challenge is hosted by the Crick Science Entrepreneur Network (CSEN), who work alongside the Francis Crick Institute's Translation team to promote and develop entrepreneurship within the scientific community.
