From academia to impact - how these researchers are turning research into real-world impact. Impact can mean different things for different researchers and projects, and it can often be difficult to know where to start on this pathway.
As part of the InnovationACT lead up, join us to hear from a panel of researchers who are pursuing impact in vastly different ways.
The panelists have all taken different routes on research and knowledge translation, including spinning out a high-growth technology company, finding industry partners that are aligned and continue their academic careers through translational work using mechanisms like licensing and consulting.
Panellists:
Damith Herath (Professor of Robotics and Art at the University of Canberra and multi-award-winning entrepreneur and roboticist)
Elizabeth McGrath PhD (founder and CEO of Prism Neuro, a startup based at the Australian Institute of Sport)
Riccardo Natoli (Associate Director of Research Development at the School of Medicine and Psychology and Head of Clear Vision Research at The John Curtin School of Medical Research at ANU)
Professor Inger Mewburn (Director of Research Training at ANU)
InnovationACT is a 2-week student and researcher entrepreneurship competition to develop innovation skills, access mentors and pitch for a share of $10,000 of funding.
