Industry Insights Seminar Series
The Industry Insights Seminar Series is hosted by the Business Partnerships Office and sponsored by the BioEscalator.
- First Tuesday of every month
- 12.00 -1.00 pm
- Via Zoom
- Networking & 1:1 meeting opportunities
Selected industry speakers provide seminars that are scientific in nature, across a range of medical or health topics. Speakers are encouraged to bring along colleagues providing the opportunity to, not only attend a scientific seminar of interest, but also to network with industry scientists. One to one meetings can be facilitated upon request. Seminars are suitable for all academics with some knowledge or interest in each topic area, from PhD students to PIs. Although mostly aimed at an academic audience, those located in the BioEscalator and Wood Centre, as well as local spinouts, are welcome to attend.
Please check the format of each talk before registering, as we will adapt to virtual or in-person seminars dependent upon the changing Covid-19 circumstances.
