What if your research could change the world?
You conduct research with passion – we’ll show you how to think entrepreneurially about it. We bring fresh energy to your mindset and make entrepreneurship tangible: through free workshops, new perspectives, and space for your ideas.
Young Entrepreneurs in Science (YES) is a free training programme that equips master’s students, doctoral candidates, and postdocs from all disciplines in Germany with entrepreneurial skills.
Our mission: a cultural shift in science towards more enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, transfer, and innovation. Together with over 150 universities, research institutions, and business partners across Germany, we create new perspectives and unleash the innovative potential of research.
Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, now Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space), the Lower Saxony Ministry for Science and Culture (MWK), and business partners, we offer all of our workshops and trainings free of charge.
Discover how knowledge becomes value and become part of the next generation of sciencepreneurs!
