STEM The department are offering a full-day programme where you can gain insight on how to turn their ideas and research into viable enterprises, and in doing so will be able to work alongside business students and will receive an official STEM Enterprise Certificate from the South East England Development Agency, as well as Oxford, Reading and Southampton Universities. The programmes at University of Southampton will take place on 19th February and 19th March. Students who have afternoon classes do have the option of just attending the morning session. We will require the names and contact information of those who you wish to attend no later than February 10, 2010. Numerous professors that we are working with have made this a highly recommended session for all of their students and a few have even made it mandatory, recognising the benefits of this new perspective to their students.
