QMBI X QMI: Commercialising Your Research: A Guide for Early-Career Innovators
Join us for an insightful session on Intellectual Property (IP) and Commercialisation with Ben Golland, Senior Commercialisation Manager at Queen Mary Innovation (QMI). Ben brings a wealth of experience in supporting researchers and entrepreneurs to navigate the complexities of IP and turn groundbreaking ideas into impactful ventures.
This session is specifically tailored for STEMM PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who are eager to learn how to protect their research and innovations, the various types of IP protection available, and how to strategically position their work for commercial success. Ben will guide you through the journey from academic discovery to real-world applications, including licensing, spin-outs, and securing funding opportunities.
Refreshments will be provided after the session!
This event is for PhD students and post-doctoral researchers only.
