SULSA's INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA CONFERENCE 2025

Registration closes Monday 20th October


Join us on Tuesday 28th and/or Wednesday 29th October 2025 at our Industry-Academia Conference. Our two day conference is focused on industry engagement, for both collaborative R&D and employability:

Day one will cover industry-academia collaboration with ample opportunities to network with commercially minded academics, industry open to collaboration and organisations that can support.

Day two will be focused on employability and skills development and run similar to a recruitment fair providing the chance for talented and proactive undergraduate and postgraduate students and PhD-qualified staff to network with life sciences employers.

Visit www.sulsa.ac.uk/IndAc for the full itinerary and event information.


The Scottish Universities Life Sciences Alliance (SULSA) supports life scientists from across the breadth of life sciences research from animal, human, microbe and plant research. This conference is open to students and staff from within our SULSA members as well as non-member Universities and external partners in the private and public sector.
