Are UTS researchers and PhD students future ready without entrepreneurial skills?

With less than 5% of PhDs being placed into academic positions after completion of their doctorate, UTS faces some big questions about the FUTURE CAREERS OF OUR MOST INSPIRED MINDS. * What skills and tools should we embed into our PhD training to ensure we are equipping researchers for the future?  * How can talented researchers identify new pathways to apply their skills and knowledge and create impactful career pathways by applying an entrepreneurial mindset to their research? * Is greater industry engagement with PhDs necessary to build entrepreneurial muscle? Join us for a fireside chat hosted by PROFESSOR GLENN WIGHTWICK, DVC Innovation and Enterprise and PROFESSOR FIONA BROOKS, ADVCR Development, to tackle these challenging questions head-on, and explore how might we adapt doctoral programs to ensure our graduates are equipped for the future.   Guests panelists: * DR.
