Some of the University of
Western Sydney’s most Innovative thinkers presented at this year’s first IP
Evaluation Panel, which was held on the 24th May with great
success. These talented researchers were able to present their ideas to a well
rounded panel of experts in the hopes of securing protection and/or
funding for their research. The panel assesses the commercial potential
of ground-breaking research coming out of the University, with the
aim of assisting to bridge the gap progressing research from “ideas” to
“reality”.
We were fortunate to again
have the expertise of UWS academics and industry to evaluate our
research potential. The diverse backgrounds of the panelists allowed
for comprehensive understanding, analysis and recommendations. We would like to
thank our generous panel members of the day Rachel Hooke (FB Rice), Ben Wright
(ATP Innovations Pty Ltd), David Bull (BCS International), Prof Athula Ginige
(School of Computing Engineering and Mathematics), Assoc Prof Dennis Chang
(School of Science and Health), Assoc Prof Terry Sloan (UWS School of
Business), Kezia Sullivan (UWS Research Services) Fiona Montebello (UWS Lawyer),
Peter Malecki (UWS Commercial Lawyer), Prof Andrew Cheetham (Interim Deputy
Vice-Chancellor (Research)) and Dr Kathryn Sunn (UWSI Chair).
The MARCs Institute for
behavioral, neurological and computational research saw a wealth of extremely
innovating ideas presented at the IP Panel, the quality of which were
exceptional. We are please to say that every project that was presented at this
panel not only represented the first-rate research happening at the MARCs
Institute but were so excellent they all won the support of the University to
commercialise their ideas.
This blog will keep you up
to date with progress of the inventions as they continue along the exciting
path to commercialisation.
