The Knowledge Exchange! Best practice & funding for industry collaborations

Wednesday, 22 May, 2024 - 10:00 AM

Format: In-Person Workshop (90 minutes) - UoL Only

Interactive session sharing best- practice tools and launching the Partnership and Innovation Fund 2024, to support Industry collaborations for researchers.

Do you want to work with research collaborators and partners outside of Higher Education e.g. Industry, policy makers, cultural partners or charities?

This interactive session will provide an overview of pathways to partnerships (e.g. Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and Consultancy,) access to industry engagement events and presentations from pump-priming funding managers who support schemes such as the Harmonised Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAA) and the launch of the Partnership Innovation Fund 2024 (PIF.)

The University has developed an online toolkit containing practical, simple to understand, and proven to work guidance, tools, training and frameworks that you’ll need to grow your activity and make real-world impact. You’ll get to test-out the toolkit for yourself and meet University professional service staff and other academic ‘champions’ who have successfully collaborated with non-HEI partners.

After the session you’ll be invited to network with colleagues over coffee and cake!
