Truls Erikson is a Professor and the Group Leader of the Entrepreneurship Research Group at the Department of Informatics, UiO. He will talk about the two PhD courses ENT9800 and ENT9601 offered by the Entrepreneurship group, as well as a few highlights from the group's research.
In particular, he will highlight the importance of digital competence at the board level, and say something about the group's research on new firms and their boards – a topic labelled venture governance. Moreover, to survive, the traditional businesses "out there" are also in need of board members that understand digital technology, but those board members are hard to find. Their two courses prepare you for such challenges, and it could very well turn out to be an ad hoc career path for many of you.

About the seminar series
Once a month, dScience will invite you to join us for lunch, soft drinks and professional talks at the Science Library. In addition to these, we will serve lunch to PhD candidates in our lounge in Kristine Bonnevies hus every Thursday. Due to limited space (40 people), this will be first come, first served. See how to find us here (download).
Our lounge can also be booked by PhDs and Postdocs on a regular basis, whether it is for a meeting or just to hang out – we have fresh coffee all day long! Read more about the seminar series here.
