Research funding opportunities are increasingly being impacted by commercialization. Research commercialization supports our economy by encouraging investment in emerging areas of research, and supporting society with the creation of jobs, the growth of industries, and sustaining the economies of universities. The translation of research from the university to society is beneficial to the wellbeing of our community.
Our presenters will share their own experiences and challenges in developing these relationships and share suggestions for how to create a framework to support a seamless transition from research to commercialization. This workshop will also discuss the resources in place for supporting researchers in the area of research commercialization.
