Abstract
Chilean doctoral programs in science and technology generally do not consider entrepreneurial training within their curricula. We contend that this situation may hinder the possibility that new scientific and technological knowledge produces innovations. This study represents an effort to explore the potential impact of entrepreneurship education on doctoral training within a non- commercial research environment. We identified two main areas of possible impact: the potential effects upon doctoral research projects and the potential effects upon the doctoral students themselves. We followed the learning experiences of science and technology PhD students before, during, and a year after an entrepreneurial course through a multiple case study research design. Our results suggest that entrepreneurship education has a positive impact, both on students’ doctoral projects and on the students themselves. Our results further suggest that entrepreneurship education could be an excellent complement for traditional doctoral training.
