BT Young Scientist Business Bootcamp
30 intermediate and senior students take part in BT Young Scientist Business Bootcamp in March each year. The students will be part of 4 days of workshops and presentations where they will experience the world of technology commercialisation and entrepreneurship.
We have created this programme to encourage further innovation by our young scientists and provide them with commercialisation skills to carry forward into their careers and lives. The bootcamp is held at University College Dublin (UCD).
