From research impact to commercialisation: the who, what & how of making your research impactful and sustainable
Academics in the School of Education have been quite successful in impact work which has led onto commercialisation opportunities, including the options to license the toolkits arising from research to organisations to continue to deliver this work in practice or by the creation of social enterprises that create value to educators/pupils etc but also give the opportunity to reinvest into the enterprise.
This session, chaired by fellow School of Education academic Dr Frances Giampapa, aims to give you an understanding of what enterprise is and how to work from impact towards commercialisation in this panel session.
Frances will talk about her journey into commercialisation where she currently has a fee-bearing license to a Local Authority to deliver her Researchful Practice toolkit. She will discuss starting off from smaller pots of funding to develop her toolkit and working across policy and commercialisation impact.
Sally Good is CEO of joint Bristol and Cardiff university spinout, Evidence to Impact. They work in public health interventions which often have applications in education. Sally is also working as Licensing and Partnerships Entrepreneur in Residence for the Commercialisation Team for Arts, Law and Social Sciences. She will talk about how to incorporate reducing costs through the research process in order to ensure services are used in the real world. And what it’s like to have a social venture that operates in education.
Robin Halpenny is Research Commercialisation Manager for Arts, Law and Social Sciences. He will give an overview of who’s who in impact and commercialisation, what the Translational Hub is, how to get going if you have a toolkit or service including training or funding available, the types of IP you might have and where some of the School of Education commercialisation projects have got to.
Lorraine Fairbanks, Translational Hub Manager for ALSS, and Eloise Meller, Impact Development Manager for ALSS, will also be on hand to chat to.
