BEYOND ACADEMY CLOSING EVENT TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 23
APTA and Know Hub Chile invite you to the closing event of their Beyond Academy program, an initiative created and carried out jointly by both technology transfer hubs and supported by the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside).
Beyond Academy was created to build a culture of innovation in academia. The program gives lead researchers and their teams methodological tools to connect their R&D&I projects with industry needs at an early stage, a methodology known as “customer discovery.” At the event, two teams trained in the methodology and one of their mentors (from UC Riverside) will share their experience.
