Introduction to Industry Analysis
This workshop will introduce the fundamental tool of Industry Analysis which companies use for strategy development.
McGill Chemical Society Seminar Series- Rachel O’Reilly: Precision polymer nanoparticles (Dr. Allan Hay Memorial Lecture)
Crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) is a powerful approach for the solution self-assembly of block copolymers, enabling the formation of hierarchical nanostructures with high uniformity and structural precision.
Foundations of IP and Patent Searching
This workshop will demystify and explain the various forms of intellectual property (IP), namely, patents, industrial designs, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets, and when they are used. We will then do some actual patent searching using the DERWENT worldwide patent database.
AI, Health, & Public Policy: Researcher Roundtables
Presented by the Computational and Data Systems Institute, the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, and the McGill Collaborative for AI and Society.
How is AI (re)shaping research, decision-making, and societal outcomes across disciplines?
MASTERING YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE AND UNLOCKING THE POWER OF NETWORKING
Skills for Assertiveness and Effective Communication (Graduate Students)
Do you find yourself saying yes to requests that are inconvenient for you? Is it challenging to offer or accept feedback? Identifying your own needs, setting clear boundaries and communicating your needs are important skills that can be challenging to implement in the graduate school context. In this workshop, you will learn about assertiveness as well as common patterns that arise in difficult conversations and learn tips to navigate them.

Market Research and Analysis of Competition
This workshop will provide an overview of the different types of market research, how to analyze the competition, and the resources available at McGill to perform market research.
McGill Chemical Society Seminar Series- Andrew Musser: Embrace the darkness: From singlet fission to exciton-polaritons
Polaritons are increasingly touted as a promising tool to ‘rewrite’ the functional behavior of molecular systems. Polaritons are mixed states formed from the hybridization of molecular transition dipoles with a confined electromagnetic field. Originally the purview of ultra-cold physics, when this concept is applied to molecular vibrational or electronic absorption transitions polaritons can be attained at room temperature.

Startup Finances
In this workshop, you'll learn how venture capitalists (VCs) typically value an early-stage innovation-driven venture. To do that we'll go through and give examples on how to forecast sales and how to set pricing, how to forecast expenses and how to figure out the amount of capital needed to finance your business. We'll also explore some of the more common sources of cash from both public institutions and private organisations.
Final Exams
Startup Funding
Now that you have a grasp on how much money you need, this workshop will focus on the "deal". You'll learn what a venture capital fund is, its structure and how they operate, and what venture capitalists (VCs) look for in an early-stage innovation-driven venture. You'll also learn about the typical elements of a term sheet in connection with equity investments and simple agreements for future equity (SAFEs), and caveats when raising money.
