HUMANE Seminar Cyprus University of Technology, Limassol Friday 20 to Saturday 21 November, 2015 - Enhancing Research and Innovation in Universities

HUMANE is pleased to announce our next Seminar Enhancing Research and Innovation in Universities.

In this Seminar we will look at different approaches to support research and innovation in universities. The Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) will offer a unique setting to explore how young universities can build strong research and innovation agendas.  The following topics will be explored:

- How do universities transform their professional services to support new developments in research and innovation
- What are the implications of cross-organisational/cross-sectoral partnerships (e.g. universities working with industry) for university management
- What are the successful examples of regional engagement between multiple and diverse players
- What are the financial challenges for universities
- What are the consequences on the management of human resources
- New strategy engagement with the external environment

Participants will have ample opportunities to exchange ideas with the speakers and with colleagues, reflecting on their own situation.
