SUMMARY:#EoI - Pitch Your Research With Confidence Through Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:We all know the stereotype: a brilliant scientist who struggles to explain their research. Most of us were taught how to build\, quantify and discover but never how to explain. That is why TU has organized the EOI Workshop on Storytelling Techniques that supports researchers to present complex topics with confidence to all different kind of stakeholders. \nThis half-day workshop will give you the tools you need to better explain your research with clarity and confidence.

SUMMARY:#E4s - Translating Research Into A Business Model
DESCRIPTION:Join this Masterclass and learn how to build a commercially successfull product/service out of your research. \nMost researchers excel at discovery but receive little guidance on commercialisation pathways\, regulatory navigation\, or the creative leaps required to build a company. That is why TU Wien’s i²c incubator has organised the Masterclass “Translating Research into a Business Model”. \nDrawing on extensive experience in technology transfer\, deep-tech venture building and institutional investing\, this session equips participants with practical frameworks for thinking outside the conventional academic box\, mapping the essential steps from lab to market\, and anticipating the regulatory landscape that shapes spin-offs in AI\, biotech\, health-tech and related fields. \nKey Takeaways \n    How to reframe research results into commercially attractive value propositions and spin-off concepts\n    The critical steps from idea validation and IP strategy through company formation\, funding and launch readiness\n    Key European regulations and compliance considerations that founders must address early\n    Practical approaches to governance\, capital structure and go-to-market planning for deep-tech ventures \nBy combining hands-on expertise in technology transfer\, entrepreneurship and venture capital\, it offers researchers a comprehensive toolkit to bridge the gap between scientific excellence and successful commercialisation. \nAbout the speaker \nDr. Astrid Woollard\, MSc\, LLM is a business builder and operator with end-to-end experience across AI\, blockchain\, robotics\, biotech and institutional investing. As Founder and General Managing Partner of SMAPE Capital she raised a leading Web3 fund\, constructed a portfolio of 30+ early-stage companies and guided teams on launch readiness\, digital asset utility & economics\, IP strategy and regulatory compliance. Previously she held technology-transfer roles at IST Austria\, Oxford University Innovation and St George’s University of London\, managing large commercialisation portfolios\, negotiating licences and co-creating spin-out vehicles.
