This is a new series of seminars focused on the practicalities of how to commercialise research. These seminars are aimed at the Warwick PI and Postdoc community to offer guidance on best practice for key aspects of the commercialisation journey including: types of IPR & how not to disclose; the licensing and spin-out process; and how to communicate ideas to commercialisation stakeholders.

The University of Warwick has created more spin-out companies in the past few years than any other Midlands University. So what makes a good spin-out, and why should you choose to spin-out your research instead of licensing it?

Dr Tim Francis will talk about what is involved in creating a spin-out company, the importance of timing, what investors expect, and the role of the founding academic in a future spin-out, as well as introducing how Warwick Innovations supports you on your spin-out journey.

Places are limited, but this will run on a regular basis, so please follow us on Eventbrite for details of future sessions.
