The group has the primary task of setting out the Network’s strategy for clinical and industrial collaborations and partnerships.
It proposes to achieve this through the identification of areas of clear opportunity between the Network and potential partners and to connect researchers with the relevant professionals who can offer advice on the contractual and intellectual property (IP) implications of industry partnerships.
The group is also committed to assisting partners in establishing governance frameworks that allow industry-acceptable timescales for collaborative projects, as well as to organising industrial engagement workshops.It will also be important to maintain relationships with key stakeholders to ensure that the Network’s activities are suitably disseminated and recognised.
