DESCRIPTION:_Are you a WISE woman at Cambridge? Do you want to advance you
 r career? Are you looking to develop your business skills and increase the
  impact of your research or innovation?_\n\nResearch by the University of 
 Cambridge shows that mainstream entrepreneurship education consistently fa
 ils female participants\, who are almost always under-represented in the t

  course designed by women for women and delivered entirely by women. It is
  for women in science\, engineering and technology including graduates\, (
 Masters\, PhDs and Postdocs)\; academics and researchers\; and early stage

 the entrepreneurial potential of participants for long-term career enhance
 ment. Entrepreneurial skills can be applied to business venture creation\,
  research projects and the commercialisation of innovations. \n\nWe're cur
