Description:
LowCVP and UKTI are to host a first “Meet the University” reception at LCV2013. The networking reception, which will take place on the 4th September 2013 between 5pm and 6:30pm, will be held in Hall 2. It aims to provide an opportunity for UK university representatives to meet with industry participants, including overseas visitors, UK SMEs, as well as UKTI overseas officers.
UK universities are in the vanguard of pure and applied research into the key enabling technologies for a low carbon transport future. The networking reception offers the opportunity for industry attendees from across the low carbon vehicle community to make new contacts within UK universities, as well as identify those contacts best able to help them with a specific research challenge related to their activity.
University participants planning to attend are encouraged to email their title, name, department, university and up to five keywords describing their research interests to: Andrei.varban@cenex.co.uk
Industry attendees do not need to pre-submit information but are encouraged to identify the challenges they need researching and share these with the Universities attending.
As a co-host of the reception the LowCVP, assisted by the SMMT, will be highlighting a range of resources and reports designed to aid collaboration between UK universities and SMEs. These resources include the Low Carbon Automotive Directory (LCAD), being developed with support from UKTI and BIS.
The reception will also provide a valuable opportunity for UK Universities to meet and receive country-specific advice from UKTI overseas officers regarding international collaborations, as well as an opportunity to meet with international delegates visiting LCV2013 .
