How I work
Speaking
Richard is an inspiring and engaging speaker (well his mum thinks so) who is passionate about making the most of your training beyond your PhD.
Coaching
Are you a PhD student or academic? Do you want to know what’s next or what else is possible?

Dr Huysmans helps academic institutions and their staff be commercially smart about the application and implementation of their research ideas.
Training
Dr Huysmans does paid training, covering all sort of topics relevant to PhD students and graduates.
You can have your institution book him to deliver something.
