What is the Project Doing?

This project is piloting a cross-institutional speaker series to showcase SHAPE commercialisation and inspire academic engagement.  With a focus on pipeline building, and especially relevant for HEIs that are less research commercialisation-mature, it addresses the lack of visible examples and shared learning opportunities by delivering talks featuring real-world commercialisation journeys.

The project also develops a toolkit and resource bank to support institutions in running similar programmes, alongside recorded content hosted on GetTWOit.

How Can Members Get Involved?

Members can  support with the dissemination and completion of surveys, and attend speaker events, access recordings and resources, and use the toolkit to develop their own local speaker programmes.
