This interactive session, led by the energetic Executive Director of Tech-Access Canada, and France Vaillancourt and Marius Ivan of NSERC, will help researchers understand how to make more impact (e.g., commercialise) with their research, AND to help organisations that could benefit from research, understand how to do so.
The workshop aims to help academics better understand how to commercialise / gain adoption of their research, and that also helps organisations understand how (and why) to work with researchers. It would cover topics such as how to identify and investigate pain points in the market, successful and unsuccessful examples of "journeys" of research through to commercialisation, and programs available to support researchers and "receptors".
The background to this workshop is that the CTRF was created to be a place of discussion and debate for transportation researchers and policymakers. Now we are aiming to bring researchers and industry problems closer together. We are doing this through research committees and other activities, such as this workshop.
