ResearchBites: How to Commercialise Your Research for Impact

A commercial outcome is when research produces something that can generate income, jobs, businesses, or a combination of these. This can include spin off companies, where a standalone company is established with the sole focus on commercialising the research. Commercialisation pathways will be different for every research project, and not all will have immediate commercialisable outcomes and outputs. However, it is important to build these pathways early to improve opportunities and enhance the impact of your research.

This free Sativus Workshop for UniSQ research students (Honours, Masters & Doctoral) will cover: 
• How to create practice change with your research 
• Building extension and adoption pathways that lead to commercialisation
• Creating commercialisation pathways 

This workshop will explain the importance of commercialisation pathways and research adoption. By the end of this session, you should be able to identify different commercialisation strategies relevant to your research.
