Commercialising Code Workshop

Professor James Vickers is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Southampton.

James Vickers

At this workshop we will be showcasing some of our expertise at Southampton in computer code development and data analysis methods. This workshop will help you to think about the potential of taking your code and analysis methods into new horizons as well as the potential commercial interest and value to industry it may have.
We will highlight the funding that is avalible to buy out academic time and/or hire PhD students to take existing code you have and develop it to the point where it is commercially viable.
Our Workshop will see us joined by non-academic users of code representing companies and industry representatives looking at collaborative opportunities to work with us . The workshop will be facilitated by an expert bringing academic code into commercial use along with the Royal Society funded Southampton Entrepreneur In Residence – Adam Hill.
If you have written any computer code or developed data analysis methods as part of your research then this event is for you.
We will provide lunch and afternoon tea at this event.
