The University Press Office will be invited to contribute as will representatives of public bodies and commercial organisations. This would cover the process of turning an outcome of basic research into a consultation or a product for public and for commercial organisations. This will include discussion about intellectual property, licensing, meeting requirements of regulatory bodies, developing spin-off companies. This will also consider routes to present evidence to policy makers, and means to disseminate science to the popular media and the general public. |
