Successful Innovation Workshop

Five lucky UWS students from Honours and PhD programs in the College of Health Science were able to attend ATP Innovation’s 8th annual Successful Innovation Workshop. Students explored ways to commercialise their research through practical case studies, workshops, and networking.

PhD student Anwen Krause-Heuer had this to say about the workshop: "The workshop was a real eye-opener about the hard work and effort that goes into commercialising a concept, with a particular emphasis on start-up companies. It was a great opportunity to mix with postgraduate students from other universities and discuss their research areas. There was a good mix of presentations, activities and discussions that promoted interactions between the group.”

The Innovation team is very pleased that UWS students were able to experience the workshop as we believe that practical commercialisation knowledge is essential for any researcher to best survive in the real world.
