Businesses invited to research display

By Laura Collacott  Thursday May 5, 2016

Business leaders from across the region are being invited to explore the work and potential opportunities of more than 100 postgraduate researchers at a special University of Bristol showcase.

Research without Borders is being hailed as a festival giving an insight into the future – through exploring novel research, attracting employees, building new partnerships and participating in live debates. Visitors will be invited to imagine what Bristol will look like in 100 years on an interactive map, and to participate in wider discussions about the ‘grand challenges facing society’. Interactive demonstrations and posters showcasing different themes of research will cover subjects such as health, environment and sustainability, socioeconomics and culture, and using data to solve problems. ‘Digital Living’ will be the subject of interactive discussions in which academics will facilitate conversations about the past and future of digital technology and the impact it will have on our lives.

Dr Oksana Kasyutich, Manager of the Bristol Doctoral College, said: “Universities play such an important role in modern society, especially in terms of new knowledge and innovative thinking. We hope businesses from across the region will take this opportunity to see what fascinating and forward-thinking research our doctoral researchers are doing.

“It will also be a perfect opportunity to discuss how businesses can work with the University to come up with innovative solutions, form new partnerships, and even scout out future employees.”

Research without Borders will be held at At-Bristol on Monday May 9 from 2.30pm. Register for free via Eventbrite.
