Turning Research into Innovation: Innovation Support In Scotland

Without innovation, the world would be a very different place - quite simply, it would never change. It's at the forefront of everything we do as a society and is integral to businesses.

Such innovation often comes from research carried out by academics and research professionals in universities and businesses across the world. That research allows organisations to create positive impact on our communities and environment, saves lives and empowers people to have a greater quality of life.

We're delighted to welcome all 4 Innovation Centres as well as other Innovation Support Institutions to Walter Bower House at the University of St Andrews to allow the academic research community and businesses to connect and learn more about the support they offer. This event is hosted by the University of St Andrews but open to colleagues at Abertay University and the University of Dundee as well.

Lunch will be provided therefore, please ensure you RSVP and let the team know of any dietary requirements.

Who is the event for:

• Academics

• PhD students

• Postdocs

• Research fellows

• Regional businesses 

• All those interested in innovation support
