Seminars Conferences and WorkshopsCollaboration for Industry Impact – 2019 Deep Dive Workshop

CRC Association

The Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Program supports industry-led collaborations between industry, researchers and the community. In its 28-year history, it has proven to be an effective model for linking researchers with industry to address R&D challenges with commercial outcomes.

Bidding for a CRC is a highly competitive process requiring cross-disciplinary teams to come together and collaborate. This takes planning, time and patience. Developed by the CRC Association and Collabforge, this workshop (two half-days - 29 - 30 August 2019) will combine practical bid-creation content with a deep dive into the theory and practice of collaboration.

The workshop will teach participants what makes a great bid, what the process of bid development entails, the roles of all bid participants, and how to build effective relationship/communication between researchers and industry to develop a compelling bid. Participants will be provided with the opportunity to develop their ideas in conjunction with guidance materials and feedback, finishing with substantive parts of their bid concepts being fleshed out (these can be hypothetical CRCs, bids planned for submission, or even ARC Linkage type concepts).

Attending this workshop will significantly increase the likelihood of a successful CRC or CRC-P application.

Who should attend:

  • Researchers who have the responsibility for or interest to develop CRC and CRC-P bids.
  • Administrators who have the responsibility for helping coordinate, develop, approve and or administer CRC and CRC-P bids (eg from Commercialisation, Research, Scholarships, etc)
  • Interested industry representatives

For more information and to register for the workshop, visit the eventbrite page.

Flinders University is a member of the CRC Association. Interested attendees are to contact Jordan Gardner, Engagement and Policy Manager at the CRC Association, on 02 6260 4177 or at Jordan.Gardner@crca.asn.au for the discount code before registering for the workshop.

Seminars Conferences and WorkshopsPacific 2019 Innovation Pitchfest

Pacific 2019 banner

Smart Australian companies and research centres participating in Pacific 2019 will get the opportunity to sell their new ideas, technologies and products to the Australian and international community at the Innovation Pitchfest.

The Innovation Pitchfest will provide an opportunity for DST Group, academia and Industry researchers and innovators to present new innovations and research projects to a mix of potential customers, research partners and venture capitalists.

Expressions of Interest from Industry, Start-Ups and Publicly Funded Research Organisations (PFRO) to participate in the Innovation Pitchfest at Pacific 2019 are now open and will remain so until 31 August 2019. This event will be comprised of a series of three minute “pitches” aimed at demonstrating Australian innovation, research collaboration and development strengths.

For application advice and assistance, contact Mr Tony Kyriacou, Defence Partnerships Director.

Register your Expressions of Interest to participate in this event at http://bit.ly/PacPitches

Participants in the three minute pitches must communicate:

  • Uniqueness and novelty (i.e. the innovation).
  • Application or end goal of the innovation.
  • What they are looking for from the audience – finance, know-how, a partnering agreement?
  • Where future collaboration may be of benefit (and from whom).
  • Can be openly presented without fear of IP theft.
  • Can be explained in an engaging manner to a general audience in 3 minutes.
  • Avoid being seen simply as a sales pitch.

Full activity description and requirements can be viewed at: http://bit.ly/PacPitch1

The pitch sessions are to be seen as an opportunity to showcase an innovative idea/technology application/product in in early stage of its development (pre-commercialisation) to an audience including Primes, OEMs, Defence customers/users, research professionals, venture financiers and critical/interested peers.

In providing this forum during the PACIFIC 2019 Trade Days participants can take advantage of an advertised event in a prominent area of the exhibition, utilising a fast-paced and engaging presentation approach to ensure audience attention for the entire duration of their presentation. The final day of pitches will conclude with judging and the award of prizes. Participants will be offered training, free of charge (excepting travel), in the art of the “Three Minute Pitch” (locations yet to determined).

The Innovation Showcase is a collaborative event supported by Industry Defence and Security Australia Limited (the organisers of PACIFIC 2019), the Defence Science Institute (DSI), Defence Science Centre (DSC), Defence Innovation Partnership (DIP), and Defence Innovation Network (DIN). The prize-giving ceremony will be integrated with the presentation of the PACIFIC 2019 Innovation Awards on Wednesday 9 October.

DIP will run a full-day pitch training session if there is enough interest. Contact DIP as soon as possible to express your interest in an Innovation Pitch training session.

Flinders University 3MT banner

The Office of Graduate Research is seeking judges for the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) Heats or Semi-Final to be held at Flinders (see dates below).

The 3MT is a transnational competition for University students. PhD students have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their thesis topic and its significance, in language appropriate to an intelligent but non-specialist audience.

It is not an exercise in trivialising or 'dumbing-down' research. The oration should engage the audience without reducing research to entertainment value alone. It is an exercise in developing academic and research communication skills.

Heats: 

Wednesday 3 July, 10am – 12pm

Thursday 4 July, 2pm – 4pm

Friday 5 July, 10am – 12pm 

Semi-Final: 

Thursday 15 August, 1pm – 3pm   

In the 3MT competition, competitors progress through heats, the semi-final, the University final, and then the Asia-Pacific 3MT Competition, held in Brisbane, Australia in October 2019, each with prize money attached to it. 

Flinders University students and staff, and members of the public are encouraged to attend the heats, semi-finals and final and support our students and their ground-breaking research.

For further information, contact Dr Dani Milos or visit the Office of Graduate Research website.
