Why attend?
From the sciences to the humanities, our digital research and education draws on the collision of sensors, data, connectivity, computing power, automation, virtual reality and analytics to create knowledge and innovations at scale.  This event will showcase the application of our digital expertise and the facilities at the University of Liverpool, whilst stimulating engagement and debate on how working with our specialist centres (profiled below) can directly benefit you. There will be the opportunity for companies to promote their expertise via pitches and to discuss the development of working partnerships with relevant specialists from the University and beyond. Please note this event is only open to University of Liverpool academics, as well as representatives from industry.
