Event summary
World class research is often not seen by local companies until someone from outside swoops in to sponsor or buy it. We want to show the wide range of Cambridge research, from all disciplines and Schools, with applications in the healthcare sector. Chaired by Prof Sir Mark Welland and Dr Hermann Hauser, the event will be a non-stop series of 20-25 two minute talks summarising the research and its potential impact. This will be followed by time to meet and buildbetter links with representatives from local companies.
We expect about 150 members of the Cambridge Network to attend, representing a huge range of technical and commercial interests. To be effective, talks must be concise and focussed, using (at most) one powerpoint slide. To help ensure the talks are well focussed, all participants are expected to attend a coaching session with knowledge transfer or research facilitators from their School or Department.
