OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Founding a startup is probably the ideal way of transferring scientific results and intellectual property from research into real life applications. A startup is founder driven, hence visionary and quick – in contrast to corporates. And at the same time it’s a perfect career option for scientists and students.
However, especially deep tech hardware startups are facing tremendous challenges. Ronny Timmreck, CEO and co-founder of Senorics (www.senorics.com, founded 2017), talks about experiences, dos and don’ts when founding and leading a hardware startup and his learnings concerning tech development, financing and scaling. He will give an insight how Senorics’ vision of giving everyone the seventh sense – the sense for materials – can come true.
Senorics is a spin-off from the labs of Prof. Karl Leo at University of Technology Dresden, Germany. It has raised more than 10m€ venture capital to date and is commercializing a disruptive spectroscopy technology based on organic electronics.
