Four-year Fully Funded PhD Scholarships – Intellectual Property (IP), Entrepreneurship and Innovation in SMEs

Become part of an impactful research project that looks at the intersection between intellectual property, entrepreneurship and innovation in SMEs, with full funding from one of our 4-year PhD studentships.

The Management School is welcoming applications for two fully funded PhD scholarships based within the Brett Centre for Entrepreneurship (BCfE).

This PhD studentship will give you the opportunity to undertake timely and high-impact research on how startups and SMEs navigate the increasingly complex landscape of IP, innovation and value capture.

You can apply for two different projects under the overarching theme of ‘Rethinking IP and Entrepreneurship’, which brings together core questions around entrepreneurship, knowledge protection and business model innovation, with relevance across a range of sectors.

The projects will be jointly supervised by Professor Nikolaos Papageorgiadis, Professor Wolfgang Sofka and Professor Robert Blackburn, combining expertise in IP, international business, innovation strategy and entrepreneurship.

If you are successful in your application, you will work together to co-develop the precise focus and methodological approach for the project.

You will also become part of the School’s Strategy, International Business and Entrepreneurship Group, where you will enjoy plenty of interaction with other students and leading researchers.
