Roundtable Discussions: What Makes Effective Industry-Academia Collaboration

This event is a discussion-led, facilitated session. It is a chance to learn from other businesses, share candid experiences, and swap practical insights about working with academic researchers – what works, what doesn’t, and how things could be easier and more commercially relevant.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Compare experiences with peers from different organisations and sectors
• Pick up practical ideas to apply to future collaborations
• Help shape how future researchers engage with industry, so partnerships deliver clearer value for business

We welcome participants from organisations of any size and sector who can share their direct, lived experiences of working with universities.

Spaces are limited to keep discussion focussed.

Please note, this session will be audio-recorded as part of data collection for the Developing Business-Aware Academics project. Full details will follow upon registration. Registration does not constitute obligation, and you may withdraw from the event at any time.
