They will include Lisa’s reflections on working with research fellows to commercialise their research using entrepreneurial approaches.
She will be sharing her experiences and the approaches used to support researchers and university colleagues, including her work as part of the facilitation team for a range of UK universities and entrepreneurial organisations.
