Research to Industry, September 2015

The AEngD has received details of an event promoting industry-academia collaboration. The third Research to Industry day, organised by the UK chapter of the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS UK), and supported by the IEEE, is taking place at the University of Sheffield on 3 September 2015.

The organisers are hoping for EngD contributions: "EngDs are an excellent initiative to promote such collaborations, and I am looking for some case studies by your members (large and small companies) or an overview of the funding opportunities to foster these relationships," says Dr Anne Vanhoestenberghe (email Anne if you would like further details).

This event, previously attracting over 100 delegates, allows an industrial audience to meet and network with researchers active in the field of microelectronics assembly and packaging. This year's event will include keynotes from the different UK funding bodies (innovate UK and research councils) to explain the different funding options available to the industry, and case studies illustrating the benefits of those schemes to the industrial partner.
