The Vice-Chancellor’s Innovation Awards 2020, announced in late July, celebrate research-led innovation at all University levels that is having societal or economic impact. Now a series of online Innovation Conversations, taking place throughout September, offer the chance to hear more from each of the Winners, as well as ask questions about their award-winning research. This series of webinars will culminate on 7 October in a livestreamed panel discussion, chaired by Professor Chas Bountra, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Innovation, asking ‘How do universities deliver economic value?’.
