Industry-Academia Collaboration workshop
Beyond the buzzwords: talking seriously to industry partners
- Would you like to collaborate more with industry?
- Could you use some help to effectively 'sell' your ideas?
- When talking to industry, do you sometimes wonder whether they understand what you are saying?
- Are you a young to mid-level researcher?
During this fun, hands-on, interactive workshop, you will learn about industry-academia communication, common mistakes and misconceptions on both sides. We hope to stimulate you to collaborate more with industry. We expect that this will help you to increase your research impact, stimulating innovation and economic growth.
The workshop will be provided by Brightlands Institute for Smart Society (BISS).
