Amongst all the old myths of 'jobs for life' (and free port), I dont think enough people realise how tough it is on the lower rungs of an academic career. Which is why I support a fixed retirement age at Cambridge -- so the old make way for the young

The role is changing to adapt to the Global Race for S+T.

Delighted to join @TenU_News @UoLondon for launch of new @USIT Spin-Out guide:

[Diarmuid O'Brien @DIOBRIEN1]

Today the university spinout investment template is launched. A partnership between leading venture capitalists and universities, designed to enable more spinouts. We hope this speeds up spinout creation and helps to unlock increased impact from our universities.

[Cambridge Enterprise @UCamEnterprise]

The UK has many of the best universities in the world. Their potential to create startups is being undermined by unfair and erratic IP rules. I wrote an op-ed in today’s @thetimes https://t.co/hiCnLc2p2n
