What this programme offers, as attendees prepare to transition out of the post-doc years is beyond compare. I only wish I could have attended when I was a PhD student, making the move into both advising industry in my specialist research area, and self-employment nearly 20 years ago. Skillfluence have cracked a tough nut in this offering.

It was a really useful experience for me. I’ve gained a huge amount of skills to help further my research. It’s really going to help me to plan out what industry could need in the future.

You were awesome at facilitating the workshops. I loved the way you skilfully ensured we kept on track and achieved the learning outcomes. As an entrepreneur and researcher, I loved the session and will definitely be part of my toolbox. Thanks again!

I thought the course was very good and useful, the idea generation side of the course was fantastic, I felt this was an area I was already strong in and so surprised by how much I got out of it, I will definitely be using these techniques going forward.

This course has completely changed my attitude to commercialisation – you can be both academic and an innovator, and I now know who to speak to pursue potential commercialisation opportunities, and understand the immense value of networks. 

“The breakout room activities provided a platform to speak with colleagues from across Faculties and other Departments. Currently we are working hard within our own Departmental silos but this experience revealed how many colleagues across the University are sharing the same challenges, while managing a host of competing priorities. There is strength in numbers, united in the moment.”
