Three part webinar series-
Maximising Impact and Translation From Your Research
This webinar is the first in a three part series. Hosted by UoM’s Business Development and Innovation team within Research, Innovation and Commercialisation (RIC). The series will introduce you to research engagement and translation principles at the University, and provide you with the necessary information and tools to make the most out of research engagement.
Dates: Friday 12 or Tuesday 16 March
Time: 12pm
You will leave the session with a greater understanding of:
- What IP is, how it can be safeguarded, and how it applies to your research
- How IP can help your research and broaden its impact
- What the polices and processes are around IP
- How you can personally benefit from research translation
- The considerations when signing research agreements and contracts
The webinar will be hosted by Eric Hoefgen. Eric completed a PhD in Chemical Engineering, and currently helps researchers translate their research as a member of UoM’s Knowledge & Tech Transfer team.
Purposeful Engagement Workshops
The series aims to:
- strengthen your confidence in enacting meaningful and ethical engagement practice;
- deepen your understanding of different engagement contexts, roles, approaches and frameworks;
