DESCRIPTION:Maybe you’ve got some nice research results\, insights\, tec
 hnology or IP\, perhaps via a typical research council grant to get to thi
 s stage. \n\nBut your work is not yet ready for commercialisation.  Maybe 
 the next step is not ‘research enough’ for a conventional grant\, but 
 the work is too far from market for a commercial organisation to fund it?\
 n\nWhat you need is ‘translational funding’ – to plug the gap betwee
 n research and commercialisation.\n\nJulian Peck of Cambridge Enterprise w
 ill be talking about Translational Funding on\n\nTuesday 26th November\, 1
 2:00 – 14:00 at Cambridge Enterprise\n\nLunch provided at 12:00 and proc
 eedings start at 12:30\n\nPlaces will be limited\, so if you’d like to c
 ome (and you’d like some lunch) then let me know to reserve your place.\

  and is run in partnership with (and funded by) the Fourth Theme of Engine
 ering "Inspiring Research through Industrial Collaboration". \n\nSpeaker b
 iography:\nJulian spent 17 years commercialising innovations in Newcastle 
 before joining Cambridge Enterprise. A graduate of the IfM (Institute for 
 Manufacturing) and a Chartered Mechanical Engineer\, he has considerable i
 ndustrial and commercial experience\, mostly in the automotive and consume
