S2BMRC continued its year of 15th anniversary by partnering UIIN Conference in Dublin



June 10, 2017

Dublin

With close to 500 participants from 60 countries, the Dublin event was the largest UIIN conference so far and a clear recognition of the increasing importance of the conference topics. Over three days the conference gave access to a wide variety of presentations and workshops from academics and practitioners on University-Industry engagement. The conference was providing a platform to interact, share knowledge, and establish new contacts with peers.

S2BMRC is the UIIN incubator and closly cooperating with UIIN in Amsterdam. Thus, the S2BMRC Team contributed substancially to the 2017 conference.
