Trailblazing Industry Engagement: How to take your career to the next level - In-Person event

Join us for a panel discussion and afternoon tea to explore how researchers can better engage with the industry, enhance research commercialisation, and build impactful, mutually beneficial industry relationships.

The panel discussion aims to address how UQ researchers and HDR students can better engage with industry to enhance their research outcomes by:

• Discussing the importance of research outcomes over merely applying for grants and funding
• Addressing common misconceptions about working with industry
• Providing strategies for building mutually beneficial relationships with industry partners.

Key Speakers:

• Chris Downs - Director, Australia’s Food and Beverage Accelerator
• Nidhi Bansal - Training Centre Program Lead, Australia’s Food and Beverage Accelerator
• Leigh Staines - Industry Professor in Commercialisation, Sustainable Minerals Institute.

The Food and Beverage Accelerator is working to enhance researchers' engagement with industry. This panel discussion will be an opportunity for researchers to hear from others who have successfully navigated industry relationships.

HDR students, Staff or researchers.
