Professor Lawrence Young, Pro-Dean for External Affairs at Warwick Medical School, is delighted to invite you to our inaugural Med Tech networking event.
This event is the first in a series of networking events aimed at creating a forum to share ideas, strengthen existing interactions and develop new partnerships. We will showcase the cutting-edge expertise and technologies that are available at Warwick and explore joint funding opportunities.
This free event will start with a keynote address by Professor Malcolm Skingle CBE, Director of Academic Liaison at GSK, entitled ‘Academic Liaison at GSK: Leveraging Science & Funding to underpin R&D’. Dinner will follow, providing a networking opportunity and further short presentations will showcase funding opportunities, available technology platforms and how to access local expertise in both the University and the NHS.
