Panel Discussion: How do universities deliver economic value?
Following the success of the COVID Conversations series earlier this year, a series of online Innovation Conversations are being livestreamed throughout September 2020, as part of the celebrations of this year’s Vice-Chancellor’s Innovation Awards.

This series will offer the chance to hear more from each of the category winners, as well as to ask questions about their award-winning research, before culminating in a panel discussion event hosted by Professor Chas Bountra, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Innovation, on 7 October 2020.

Join Professor Bountra and an expert panel, including Wendy Becker (Chairperson Logitech International S.A.), Sam Gyimah (Board Director, Oxford University Innovation and former Minister for Universities, Science, Sustainability and Innovation) and Professor Trevor McMillan (Vice-Chancellor, Keele University and KE Champion, Research England), as they discuss how universities can work together within their wider networks to accelerate innovation, support industry, realise national synergies and address global challenges.
