Upcoming Events

    04 March 2010, 11:55PM | Europe / London

    Are you an aspiring entrepreneur? Interested in how research is commercialised? Then read on!

    "Our team was like a small company, working together to achieve a common goal", Salvatore Mascia, former President of CUTEC

    In the ground-breaking i-Teams programme, postgraduates from across the University work together to discover the commercial potential of a real University invention. Each team collaborates with researchers and industry mentors to assess the route to market for the emerging technology. At the end of the term, the team presents their findings to a business and academic audience and has the opportunity to present to an international audience at the CUTEC Technology Ventures Conference.

    i-Teams lasts for a term and includes regular group sessions, team meetings and individual work.

    This term’s projects:

    Finding real-world uses for efficient non-linear optical materials. Dr. Jacqui Cole, Tze-Chia Lin & Andrew Higginbotham, Physics

    Barcode biosensors - developing a new generation of diagnostic devices. Drs Edwards and Reis, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology

    Using bistable metal sheets as hinges. Dr. Keith Seffen, Engineering

    For more details see www.iteamsonline.org

    To apply, send your CV and a covering letter explaining which project you want to do and why to Amy Mokady am678@cam.ac.uk no later than THURSDAY 4 MARCH. Applications are welcomed from post-graduates and 4th year undergraduates from any department and any University in the East of England, as well as all CUTEC members.

    i-Teams is organised in conjunction with Cambridge University Technology & Enterprise Club (CUTEC) - www.CUTEC.org

    Calling all Enterprisers alumni!

    Dr Shai Vyakarnam needs case studies for a book he is co-writing with Neal Hartman about how to unlock the enterpriser inside!

    What has happened since you completed Enterprisers? How are you working or behaving differently? What sort of impact has your business or idea had on your own or other people's lives? What about your 'Letter to Self?' Have things turned out the way you hoped?

    If you are happy to be included, please get in touch with Shai by email.

    We'd also like to develop some CfEL case studies to demonstrate the benefits of the programme for potential delegates across the UK and wider world. If you'd like to contribute and would be happy for this info to be included on our web site and within other marketing collateral, please contact Katharine Price, Marketing Manager, at CfEL via k.price@jbs.cam.ac.uk

    We look forward to hearing from you!

    Many thanks,
    The CfEL team

    1 day to go! New i-Teams taster programme - May 7th 2009

    Following on from the success of the i-Teams programme, we are piloting a new taster programme in May, to allow more students to participate, and more technologies to gain real market feedback.

    Students will have the opportunity to work with real Cambridge University inventions, getting a taste of brainstorming, identifying the real-world benefits of new technologies, and contacting potential customers.

    The i-Teams taster will run over 2 weeks, from May 16th to 30th and includes two half-day workshops, as well as independent team work.

    See www.iteamsonline.org for details of the projects. Applications due by May 7th.

    Hi all. I'm looking forward to attending next year CUTEC events as the Technology Venture Conference was absolutely amazing. I had a very nice chat with Garrett Camp of StumbleUpon fame which is one of the company I inspired the most when I started Veedow.com up.

    Also, I'd love to get feedbacks about my start up: http://younoodle.com/startups/veedow_com

    Cheers
