What is it about?	The Minor in Science Entrepreneurship aims at broadening the horizon of our undergraduate students with respect to entrepreneurship, so as to arouse their interest in this aspect and better equip them. It is also important for our students to visualise how their training in science (a) is relevant to the real world and (b) can bring about huge insights via critical analysis of the operation of existing enterprises.
