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.
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.
This panel event will be very relevant for researchers at all stages, from HDR students to mid-career researchers, who are exploring how their research and knowledge can translate to real-world impact.
For this event, CBRIN is collaborating with the Australian-French Association for Research and Innovation (AFRAN).
AFRAN aims to actively promote the development of cooperation between France and Australia in the areas of research and innovation. Join for free: https://www.afran.org.au/join-us
Discussions will be followed by a networking cocktail.
