Bridging Science and Industry: Communicate with Impact

CHANGE OF DATE: The event will take place at a different date, we will let you know later.

We would like to invite you to a workshop focused on the scientific community and business needs.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to effectively identify and approach industry partners in a variety of situations – from negotiating contract research agreements to finding opportunities to value your work outside of academia. You will learn how to explain your research concisely and clearly to quickly engage potential partners. Together, we will also identify specific relevant industry representatives and develop personalized strategies to reach them. The workshop will be facilitated by Andrew Hladký from IP Lab Ventures. You can read about his expertise and experience in the bio below.

This workshop will be conducted in English.

• a brief description of their research and its possible practical applications,
• a list of companies and contacts in the field with whom you already have experience or relationships,
