IP & Spin-Out Workshop May 2013/2014 Many thanks to alumni Dr Adrian Bradley and Nicholas Bennet, Cleveland IP, and ISIS Innovation for hosting these fantastic events. An interactive session designed by alumnus Dr Adrian Bradley to introduce commercialization and IP, and encourage young researchers to get involved in this area and increase the impact of their work. Feedback: All the attendees rated the event as ‘excellent’ ‘very good’, and 66% percent of the researchers also said that attending the workshop increased the likelihood that they would attempt to commercialize their research. I had a really great afternoon and hopefully learnt a lot about IP and commercialization. Thanks! Keep the same structure, but change the content so I can go to it again. Program was very well organized and I'd run the same thing again next year keeping the IP game which I found to be most useful as I learnt the most talking during the game to teammates, lawyers and ISIS. Absolutely brilliant! Chemistry Careers Conferences 2013/2014 Thank you to everyone who generously gave their time to speak at careers events and support current students. The Chemistry Careers Conference is an annual event organised by a committee of DPhils, Post Docs, and members of the Equality and Diversity Group. If you would like to speak at this or other careers events please get in touch!
