The process of translating research outcomes into commercially viable products can be challenging, involving the need to overcome many technical and non-technical barriers. The Society helps scientists on this journey by providing grants and funding, offering training and mentoring and bringing together experts in academia and industry through our meetings and conferences.
Presented here are accounts of individuals who have used and built on the funding awarded by the Society to translate their research from academia to industry.
