Bristol has a national strength in the combination of Creative & Tech.

MyWorld is a new project funded by UKRI and lead by University of Bristol and University of Bath. It will build on our AHRC Creative Cluster project to create an international centre for R&D underpinning the creative industries sector – bringing university research into the development process.

How can your R&D work create prototypes ahead of the delivery curve and capitalise on opportunities the minute new technologies roll out?

Producer/chair: Paul Appleby

Contributors:

Prof. Dave Bull – University of Bristol: MyWorld R&D Centre funded by UKRI

Tony Bhajam – Inclusion Producer, Bristol & Bath Creative Cluster R&D funded by AHRC

With video clips and success stories, this expert panel session covers the thinking :

The key areas for creative R&D
How universities and creative companies best work together – joint projects, shared facilities, real-world learning
Managing the timescales : the need for personal passions : embedding R&D in business
How is research best commercialised? Does this sit with the research team or need different skills?
How microbusinesses can engage with the government drive for increased R&D
The value of working with real people rather than early adopters.
Commercialising your R&D efforts, and earning from your established Intellectual Property.
Taking IP into other fields e.g. health or education
