Spotlight on... Ruth Weir

This week we meet Ruth Weir, Senior Programme Officer for Entrepreneurship at UCL Innovation & Enterprise, who chats to us about adapting to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ruth and her team transitioned the SPERO workshops - which she oversees - to an online format within 48 hours. What is your role and what does it involve?. I oversee the extracurricular SPERO training programme in entrepreneurial thinking for doctoral students at UCL. We offer three levels of workshop; SPERO 1 - students start discovering their entrepreneurial strengths, SPERO 2 - students develop their understanding of what it takes to establish a business or social enterprise and SPERO 3 - students delve into the intricacies of enterprise management. Whether students stay in academia, join the commercial workforce or even set up their own business/social enterprise, our workshops help to give UCL doctoral students a competitive advantage in their future careers. How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role?.
