Entrepreneurship in Materials Engineering

The study program belongs to the field of Engineering and Management, which means that it combines disciplines and knowledge from both the engineering and economic/managerial fields, offering graduates skills suitable for a very wide range of jobs. The general objective of the study program is to train specialists with entrepreneurial skills in the field of materials science and engineering.

Worldwide, special importance is given to entrepreneurship in general and in particular to entrepreneurship developed in the technical, engineering area. In the funding framework program for the period 2014-2020, the European Union defined the area of Advanced Materials and Nanotechnologies as a priority area, thus facilitating the attraction of non-reimbursable funds to support business and research in the field of materials engineering. A significant budget is allocated to entrepreneurship and advanced materials also in the Horizon Europe Framework Program (2021-2027) through Pillar 2 - Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness.

Prospects after completing studies: entrepreneur, project manager, business manager, production process coordinator, manufacturing startup.
