Bridging the gap: collaborating with industry as a researcher [St Lucia]
Are you looking to collaborate with industry partners or already working with them but want to navigate these relationships more effectively? Collaborations between academia and industry can drive innovation, enhance research impact and open funding opportunities. However, navigating these partnerships requires understanding the differences in goals, timelines and communication styles between academic and industry environments.
In this workshop, you will gain insights on why industry collaboration matters, identifying needs and align them with your expertise, building and maintaining industry connections, managing expectations, overcoming challenges and ensuring a successful partnership.
Expect a mix of real-life examples, interactive discussions and practical takeaways.
Note: This workshop is not about choosing between industry and academia.

About Working with others
