R & I Forum Networking Dinner

The Research and Innovation Forum 2016 is the only time each year in which the academic, public sector and industry get together to hear results from the latest research projects, and also to network with other seeking to develop collaborations and build partnerships.

We will hold three networking sessions each day at the Forum. Morning and afternoon refreshments and during lunch will be served to attendees in the exhibition area, where delegates can chat and exchanges ideas. Bringing researchers and industry together in this informal environment is what makes the R&I Forum different to any other event. 

Delegates also have an opportunity to engage with each other in a more casual setting at our Networking Dinner which will take place on the evening of Day 1.
