The researcher who has developed the most during the year in the areas of interest, engagement, networking and insights in how to commercialise research results will receive a scholarship of SEK 100,000.
All of the finalists will give a brief presentation about the beginning of their commercialisation journey. A jury will select the scholarship winner using the criteria above and the audience will vote for the finalist with the best presentation.
The purpose of Mentor4Research is to be a catalyst for commercialisation of research results from a selection of Swedish universities. The programme was launched in 2005 and this event marks the conclusion of the tenth round. More than 400 researchers have participated in the programme over the years.
