This Industry Fellows College networking event takes place at the Royal Society on 24 November from 9am-5pm.

This conference will address cross-sector collaborations by bringing together past and current holders of a Royal Society Industry Fellowship and their collaborators.

Participants will have the opportunity to discuss issues and successes, and hear about the wider work of the Society. Training courses will also be offered to participants.

This year saw the pilot of the Royal Society Industry summer placements, with students completing a placement with an Industry Fellow. We will be joined at this event by our summer students, who will present their work.

As well as past and current Industry Fellows, there will be a limited number of places at this event for others interested in the relationship between industry and academia. If you would like to attend, please email industry@royalsociety.org with a short explanation as to why you are interested in the event. As places are limited, we cannot guarantee that there will be a space available.

Organisers

  • Professor Joe Sweeney, University of Salford

    Professor Joe Sweeney was awarded a BSc in Chemistry and elected an Associate of the Royal College of Science at Imperial College, and carried out a PhD studying synthetic uses of aziridines and allylstannanes at the University of Oxford. In 1990, Joe was appointed as Lecturer in Chemistry at the University of Bristol where he developed research projects focused on new methods for preparation and use of polyhydroxylated ring structures, aziridines and metalled furanones, and the total synthesis of several naturally-occurring lactones.

    He then moved to a Readership in Organic Chemistry at the University of Reading. In 2007, Joe was awarded the inaugural Faculty Output Prize at the University of Reading for his group's publication on asymmetric rearrangements, and became Professor of Synthesis and Chemical Biology. In 2008, Joe was awarded a Royal Society Industry Fellowship with AstraZeneca, which was later extended. Joe is now Dean for the School of Science, Engineering and Environment at the University of Salford.
