Join us in Cambridge for the Future of Open Innovation Practices Day, on February 13th 2019.

This full day of interactive workshops and talks will showcase tangible mechanisms for facilitating stakeholder interaction to ensure science’s impact on society and the markets.

Expect valuable insights from both Academia and Industry, with keynote speeches from Dr. Tim Minshall (Dr John C Taylor, Professor of Innovation at the University of Cambridge and Head of the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM)), Neville Jackson (Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at RICARDO), Dr. Marta Piñeiro-Núñez, Senior Advisor to Lilly Research Laboratories, and Dr Garry Pairaudeau, Head of Hit Discovery at AstraZeneca

The event is the culmination of EC funded project Science2Society, researching the future of interaction between universities, industries and broader society as a whole.

Science2Society is one of very few projects that explore the future of innovation ecosystem interaction mechanisms, particularly borrowing best practices from Internet 2.0 and 3.0 platforms and communities.

The consortium is excited to share their key findings and recommendations with attendees, to support the ongoing innovation learning process.
