Dr Rayment said, "as someone who is passionate about creating impact from research, I’m pleased that QUT is partnering with Campus Plus on industry engagement and commercialisation training. These webinars are excellent opportunities for researchers, research management professionals and the broader QUT community to understand the opportunities that knowledge transfer and commercialisation can bring."

The 2023 Professional Development + Webinar Series has been specifically developed to assist with the professional development of researchers and research professional staff.

This series of one-hour live webinars are tailored to assist researchers to achieve better industry engagement and commercialisation outcomes.

• How to grow your R&D funding
• How to improve your University Impact
• How to write better tenders
• How to develop effective and successful strategic partnerships
• How to find and manage a successful collaboration

The PD+ Health webinar stream is specifically designed for researchers who work in life sciences, health, allied health and health data and include topics such as:

• Commercialising healthtech
• When does science stop and drug development start
• Drug commercialsation
• Clinical trial design
• Health apps and big data

Campus Plus was also appointed by the Federal Government to lead a consortium to deliver the National Industry PhD program. Campus Plus Founder and CEO, Nick McNaughton said, “this program is a landmark in the drive to commercialise more of our great Australian research. It will turbo-charge the PhD community’s engagement with industry, and greatly simplify the process for industry to reach into the country’s deep research expertise.”
