Forskarskolan entreprenörskap - hälsa

A new postgraduate school focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship in the areas of health and wellbeing

The overriding purpose of the Halmstad Research School in Entrepreneurship — Health is to strengthen the theoretical and practical interaction between the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship, health technology and wellbeing. The ResearchSchool aims at giving the participants a connective framework and a theoretical understanding for innovation and entrepreneurship together with the expertise in developing ideas and commercial aspects into theory and practice.

The Research School in Entrepreneurship - Health is well-established at Halmstad University. Since the University does not have its own rights to award PhD degrees, doctoral students have to be enrolled at other docotorate-awarding universities. Presently the School has students enrolled at the universites of Linköping, Örebro, Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. The School is initially financed by the Sparbanksstiftelsen Kronan Foundation and Halmstad University.

The Research School is multi-disciplinary and the doctoral students focus on different areas and topics (e.g. health technology, wellbeing, innovation management and entrepreneurship). Students in the Research School aim to acquire expertise and knowledge in innovation and entrepreneurship; skills that can be used for the exploitation of research outside of the academic world.

Doktorandkurser och seminarier

Forskarskolan anordnar interna seminarier (tre seminarier per termin). Varje doktorand har möjlighet att diskutera hans/hennes forskningsprojekt på ett sådant seminarium varje termin.

En kurs i "Health, Lifestyle and Entrepreneurship" (7,5 poäng) kommer att genomföras inom kort.

"The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the topics of innovation and entrepreneurship in the areas of health-technology and well-being. The course addresses students from different disciplines, e.g. health, technology and economics, with an overall ambition of linking ‘Innovation and Entrepreneurship´ with ‘Healthcare´ and ‘Lifestyle´. Students are not required to have studied these topics before."
