The Science@Strathclyde Business Breakfast Club – run in Association with Addleshaw Goddard

The University of Strathclyde’s Science Faculty works with businesses in a number of ways. Our Science@Strathclyde Breakfast Club provides an opportunity for you and your business to learn more about how we can work with you to support your company. In addition, it provides a forum for businesses to engage with each other and to share their successes and challenges. Each Breakfast Club meeting opens with a short presentation from a University expert followed by a presentation from a business expert. Participation from club members is welcomed and any businesses wanting to present at a Breakfast Club event should contact Chris Carter (k.carter@strath.ac.uk) to organise a slot within the programme. All events are free but registration is required for catering purposes.

Format

Breakfast Club meetings take place in the Hamnett Building of the University of Strathclyde, which is easy to get to by public transport as it is very close to Glasgow Queen Street Station and Buchanan Bus Station. And there is council car parking near the campus. Unfortunately, there is no free parking at the University. A detailed map can be found here. Sessions will start with breakfast refreshments at 8 am and the two speakers will start their presentations by 8.30 am. There will be plenty of time for questions and networking before and after the presentations.
