Translate to Innovate Series
The Translate to Innovate Series is a year-long skill development program available to all ACU staff, including higher degree by research (HDR) students and early career researchers (ECR).
Together with more than 150 university researchers from Australia and New Zealand, 18 ACU staff attended the most recent workshop from Co-Lab’s Translate to Innovate Series - LinkedIn for Professionals and Researchers. The next workshop’s focus will be ‘Identifying and building the commercial potential of your research’ on 16 May.
The 20-webinar series consists of one-hour live workshops that are customised to help university participants improve industry engagement and commercialisation. The aim is to prepare staff to access, and then capitalise on, additional sources of revenue for ACU. The cost of the Translate to Innovate Series is fully subsidised by ACU Co-Lab.
