Featuring Dr. Carla Portela from NOVA University of Lisbon, this video is a part of the DocEnhance Course on Career Management and Entrepreneurship (second module).
Research careers are rarely a single, predetermined path. A successful career involves being prepared to deviate from previous paths and explore entirely new options, and this does not always come readily. An under-exploited career path is entrepreneurship, requiring specific competencies.
DocEnhance provides a course for PhDs to learn how to: (1) reflect upon personal strengths, weaknesses and life goals, (2) develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication and self-management skills, (3) act upon entrepreneurial ideas and opportunities and transform them into value by mobilising resources and networks.
