Bringing industry and researchers together!

In November 2016 BioMelbourne Network developed a new approach to industry and academic/research engagement with the workshop – Ask Industry Anything. Due to popular demand, we’re running this event again in November 2017!

Academic and research organisations want their researchers to have more exposure to the needs and expectations of industry and to showcase the strengths of their organisation to industry.

Industry want greater access emerging talent, the capabilities within research organisations and to connect with researchers who understand the needs of partners. This event addressed these needs by facilitating open dialogue between the 14 industry and 100 academic and research participants.

Breaking down the barriers, participants from research and academia had the chance to ask industry professionals all the questions that they might think are awkward, naive, controversial or challenging about all aspects of working and engaging with industry partners. The creative logistics of this event involved the rotation of the high calibre industry participants around the academic tables to allow the researchers full access to a diverse representation of industry professionals and establish a greater understanding of approaches to building industry relationships.
