This is the fourth and final event of this series providing an opportunity to talk about issues of relevance to both people from academia and industry, to network and to listen to a number of experts' views on education. This event is for all representatives of academia and industry, with a focus on academics seeking to understand the problems and opportunities facing industry, and industrialists seeking to understand potential opportunities and advantages of working with academics.
