Science gets real: from problem to lab innovation to real-world impact
Industry, governments, and the public increasingly expect universities to translate research into real-world impact, but Australian researchers need more training, funding, and other expert support to meet these expectations, according to a panel of experts from the University of Melbourne.
On Monday 14 August 2023, Ken Jefferd, Managing Director of Research, Innovation and Commercialisation for the University of Melbourne, moderated discussion between panellists Professor David Gardner AM, the Scientific Director of Melbourne IVF, Dr Stacey Rudd, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Chemistry, and Dr Shi Tang, a Research Fellow at Exciton Science.
The panel was convened for the third event in the 2023 Science at Melbourne series, entitled ‘Science gets real: from problem to lab innovation to real-world impact’.
