We invite PhD candidates from all disciplines to join the Pathways to Impact workshop, designed to help early-stage researchers transform their work into societal and commercial value. The programme includes a 6-hour workshop on technology transfer, intellectual property, and research valorisation (28 May), as well as selected 1-to-1 coaching sessions focused on developing strategies to bring research outcomes to real-world application (29 May). The initiative aims to equip doctoral researchers with practical tools and mentorship to maximise the impact of their research. Selection criteria for the coaching include clarity and potential impact of the research.
