With the traditional letter-of-support method into academic-industrial partnerships proving to be less than efficient, many other approaches to building and maintaining these pairings have emerged over the last decade to secure their success. So what works, what doesn’t and how can it be improved?
Join this insightful half-day event set in esteemed Cambridge surroundings to discuss how these approaches have evolved and what this means for future partnerships. As well as the day’s hot topics, there will be ample networking opportunities and lunch shall be provided from 1pm. We look forward to a lively discussion!
