DESCRIPTION:Scientists and entrepreneurs may have more in common than norm
 ally assumed. They are often highly passionate about what they do\, both n
 eed to defend their ideas in order to sustain funding and consequently th
 eir jobs\, and both categories are constantly delving into the unknown. Cr
 eativity\, commitment and diversity are unmistakably cornerstones of entr
 epreneurship. At CERN\, these are core values of the Organization - and t
 his article has previously discussed how CERN may be an ideal place for en
 trepreneurship. \n\nWhile scientists often are not assumed to be good at 
 business\, mastering the scientific method is in fact key to test hypothes
 es about the market\, the value proposition and the business model of any
  new venture. Moreover\, many people have a lot to learn from the way scie
 ntists treat failure. When a scientist runs an experiment\, there are all 
 sorts of results - in which each result is a data point that can ultimatel
 y lead to an answer. And failures are simply data points taking you one st
 ep closer to this answer.\n\nYet\, scientists are rarely those making mone
 y of the many creations around us deriving from science. If it is true th
 at scientists and entrepreneurs has so much in common\, why is this the ca
 se? What does it take to bridge this gap? Or should we even do so? Maybe 
 the scientists should stay in the labs after all?\n\nThese questions will 
 be discussed by a panel of scientists and entrepreneurs during our next C
 ERN Entrepreneurship Meet-Up - also being part of the programme of the Glo
 bal Entrepreneurship Week Geneva 2018. \n\n______________________________
