Curious about how research results can be developed into new methods, products or services with broader impact? This spring, you are welcome to join a series of networking breakfasts featuring innovators from different fields who combine academic expertise with the drive to create impact – all over breakfast and coffee.
Across four sessions during the spring semester, UU Innovation hosts one-hour networking breakfasts with short inspirational talks and the opportunity to make new connections in a relaxed setting. Our guest speakers represent a wide range of disciplines at Uppsala University and are all engaged in turning knowledge into innovation and societal value.
The networking breakfasts take place in the restaurant area of the Segerstedt building. Breakfast is served from 08:00, the talk begins around 08:15, and we wrap up by 09:00.
You are warmly welcome to listen, ask questions and network!
