Through a series of immersive workshops led by distinguished faculty and industry experts, FELP provides foundational business knowledge, essential skills, and a collaborative community of entrepreneurial-minded faculty.
This highly selective professional development initiative brings together exceptional faculty from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield, enhancing entrepreneurial knowledge and self-efficacy without requiring prior startup experience. FELP serves as a time-efficient entry point into faculty entrepreneurship and is offered at no cost, supporting faculty in advancing their ideas from concept to commercialization.
