Small materials major impact: industry collaborations
Research, development and environmental adaptation must be needs-driven if we are to have a rapid implementation of new findings. The owners of the needs are usually industry, authorities and other stakeholders and less often academia. Cooperation is needed and wanted as has been shown in our previous seminars “Creating Trust in Nanotechnology” and “Small Material - Major Impacts - over the next ten years” but it often fails and strand for various reasons. We believe these reasons are unnecessary.
Therefore, we cordially invite you to a seminar where we will pool our insights and be creative. We will pick all our brains and gather all insights, tips and tricks we can muster together to make more industry collaborations happening, to strengthen them and make conditions for the best possible outcomes of collaborations. The theme has sprung out of talks in our previous seminars.
The very best regards!

Examples of questions we will raise:
- Collaborations - what is needed to start one?
- Why don't projects start?
- What works well
- What doesn't work
- How to move forward? Valley of death for collaborations We also want to discuss different forms of cooperation
- Masters students
- Industrial PhD students
- Adjunct researchers/professors
- Joint search for grants/calls
- Larger applications that require greater anchoring in organizations
- Large Consortia
We have five experienced speakers who will share their thoughts and insights on academy-industry collaborations. Thereafter we will do a joint brainstorming creating a list we can use to work further on in our aim to boost the much-wanted collaborations.
For those who are joining our seminar physically in Lund we invite for lunch and a joint visit to our Science Center for a guided tour and some fun. We will round off with a coffee and cake.
