Leadership Foundation

This is the final set of the MDR series that was launched last spring. We have selected this topic because we believe the development of commercial skills for academics and researchers is increasingly important. Academics and researchers are becoming much more interested in the commercialisation of their Intellectual Property and are working more closely with technology and knowledge transfer colleagues to maximise commercial impact.

This workshop is developed specifically for staff and educational developers. Participants will leave the session knowing:

• How to use this new MDR to develop the commercial skills of academics and researchers

and

• With a better understanding of the ways in which academics and researchers can become primary agents of their own knowledge transfer and commercialisation
   

MDR Commercials Skills materials are designed for use by staff and educational developers so that they can design and run in-house training events for academics and researchers.
