This two-part workshop will help you explore how to make money from your ideas and how to ensure they are protected. We’ll cover commercialisation; from what it is to how you can benefit from it, what funders and investors expect to see, the role of Intellectual Property, and how Queen’s can support you in turning your research into a real-life commercial project.
