Effective collaboration with industry is vital for research professionals seeking to create tangible change and deliver meaningful outcomes. This Masterclass equips researchers with practical strategies to strengthen partnerships and work with industry stakeholders.

Learning from our two Trailblazer Programs: Resources Technology and Critical Minerals (RTCM) Trailblazer and Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA), gain actionable insights and tools to navigate commercial engagement and ways to have a productive working relationship with your Industry Partner.

Held over a half-day session, we start with an introduction to our Industry Engagement Assessment, followed by an Introduction to Project Delivery with RTCM Trailblazer Industry Advisor, Leigh Staines.

This is a working session - bring along a project of your own and put the theory into practice.

The masterclass includes an Industry Panel Discussion along with a Q&A session facilitated by our FaBA Trailblazer team – hear about the experiences of working with university researchers from our Industry Partners’ perspectives.
