What TRI-based researcher have to say about this program
“The training program was insightful and was an important conduit to see how our work can be focussed for engagement with external investors. The one-on-ones were key for a number of reasons.”
Dr Arutha Kulasinghe
"This was an excellent program and I know I will continue to go back to the lesson and materials in the months and years ahead."
Dr Aideen McInerey-Leo
“I thought the program was excellent – it highlighted the importance of having early conversations with a variety of potential ‘stakeholders’, conceptualising our research as a solution to their problems, and provided useful tools to prepare for and develop those relationships.”
Dr Kate Irvine
