UniQuest runs two major intellectual property and commercialisation workshops for our partner research institutions’ postgraduate research students and university academic researchers each year.

With more than 200 delegates attending each one, the workshops are held off-campus and involve an overnight stay at a dedicated conference centre.

These interactive workshops are tailored to the needs of postgraduate students and academic researchers interested in adding a commercial dimension to their research, to accelerate the transfer of their ideas and expertise and maximise community or industry benefit. They offer an intensive grounding in the basics of commercialisation and intellectual property protection. 

Speakers are drawn from industry, the investment community, UniQuest, and our commercialisation partners to provide researchers with an informative and practical insight into the commercialisation environment. University researchers who have successfully commercialised their research also share their stories.

Topics covered include:

• Why commercialise research
• Safeguarding your research outcomes (and still publish)
• Accessing alternative research funding from industry and investment
• The options for taking your research to the market - from consulting to strategic industry partnerships to start-up companies
• Career possibilities

The 2012 workshops will be held on 29-30 March and 5-6 July. Apply online now.

Costs, including group travel and venue accommodation, are covered by UniQuest and our partner research institutions (conditions apply). The workshop program is intensive and team-based, requiring the full participation of each participant at every session, including the dinner on Thursday evening - we recommend that participants take up the group travel and accommodation offered to ensure they don't miss any sessions.
