Business Innovation and Commercialisation for Researchers/Warwick i2i Programme

Starts Wednesday 11th October for 7 sessions.

MOAC Seminar room, M3.01, Senate House and the Junction.

14:00 to 17:00

In a world with constant change, often dynamic, with far reaching global impact - economically, socially, and environmentally – there are many opportunities to develop solutions to meet the challenges ahead. This course run in conjunction with Warwick Innovations, the highly successful technology transfer office of the University, aims to inform the participant how to better recognise and assess a commercial opportunity - be it research driven, an innovation or your own idea - whether you are developing research which solves a problem, be part of a University spin-out company or plan your future career in industry or academia. This course is suitable for anyone who is interested in enhancing the impact from your research.

The course comprises of seven 3 hour sessions - a mix of lecture and workshop - focusing on the key elements necessary to understand if an idea or an area of research can be considered for commercialisation.

The final session will be a 'mock' presentation of the business idea/research - usually in groups.

2nd and 3rd Year students and early career researchers
