Industrial Innovation and the Role of the Modern Research University, April 27, 2009, Cambridge

Date: 27 April 2009
Location: University of Cambridge
Event Type: Workshop
Activity Area: Industrial Innovation

This workshop explored trends and drivers associated with the evolving nature of industry research and how these influence the practices and structures for university-industry engagement. In particular, the workshop focused on opportunities and challenges associated with hosting formal industry-university collaborative initiatives on campus.

The IARU group of universities is particularly well positioned to consider and gain new insights into these activities. Some of the most interesting and high profile examples of such initiatives are based at IARU institutions, for example: Berkeley's BP Energy Biosciences Institute, the Oxford-Man Institute (of Quantitative Finance), and Microsoft Research Cambridge.

More information on this event can be found on the University of Cambridge R&D Interfaces website.
