Is your research generating ideas or innovations that you think lots of people might want to use – perhaps a method, material, technology, software, or dataset? Are you wondering how to take it further? Part of the University, Cambridge Enterprise works with you to help turn your ideas into reality for the benefit of society. Whether you're just beginning to explore or are already working on a promising idea, this interactive workshop is designed to help you understand how your research could be translated into real-world benefit. From learning about intellectual property and how it can be protected to understanding the various routes to market, you’ll gain a practical introduction to the possibilities ahead. Run by the Cambridge Enterprise team, this session brings together insights from our IP and Licensing specialists - combining two previous workshops (IP & Commercialisation 101 and Research Tools 101) into a comprehensive start to making impact through innovation. |
