Are you a researcher who's ready to move from 'commercially curious' to 'commercially confident'? This programme will jump-start your commercialisation journey.
You'll build an understanding of the breadth of commercialisation opportunities across disciplines, learn the language and processes involved, and develop the confidence to explore commercial pathways for your own work.
Commercially Curious is an information-rich, barrier-lowering programme that helps researchers recognise opportunities, access support, and take the first meaningful steps into commercialisation activities.
