FROM THE LAB TO THE WORLD

We offer a fully fledged portfolio of professional courses and services for researchers to support them shaping their careers.

enihilo is a project run by MARMAS GmbH to offer training, mentoring, and coaching services tailored specifically to upskill researchers, by building on their unique talents and vision.

With our courses, researchers learn fundamental principles of entrepreneurship, innovation, strategic communication, leadership, career and project management. We also support them to improve their well-being and performance.

Our approach is based on the EntreComp Framework laid out by the JRC in 2016 to train researchers develop the mind set to act upon opportunities and ideas, and transform them into value for others by mobilising resources.

We focus on active problem-solving, which is known to be the most effective for students to gain knowledge and skill.

In addition to the courses, we provide mentoring and coaching to further develop the acquired competences. The training syllabus and methods draw from our unique experience in research, management, and policy, and are tailored specifically to researchers.
