An entrepreneurial programme and support system for early-career academics considering a career in business and enterprise.
Bio-spark is a gateway into industry and start-up formation. It is a fellowship programme that provides internships at Pharma, Biotech or Venture partners, mentorship for those with ideas for setting up companies, and networking opportunities for all Bio-spark fellows. This is a “learn by experience” programme that runs outside of PhD and Postdoc responsibilities.

There are three types of Bio-spark fellows:
Exploring fellows
Fellows who only wish to experience the networking opportunities with partner companies
Company-seeding fellows
Fellows who have ideas for setting up companies, and need mentoring and funding opportunities
Challenge-solving fellows
Fellows who wish to do internships and engage with partner companies through solving challenges
