Wow - what an experience!
Honestly we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into with this 8-week program on how to identify specific opportunities for commercialisation of our research. I enjoyed the immersion aspect - that rather than sitting in a room being told how to do things, we were immediately asked to call up 5 companies on day 1 and conduct interviews, and that after this we were targeting as many interviews as possible over the 8 weeks. This is a skill that the group can take with us. I'd recommend it to anyone, with the caveat that its a lot of work!
Stay tuned for new NEL projects arising from this.....
