@GulfIntlForum @Dr_Ulrichsen Many congratulations @Dr_Ulrichsen! Very proud of you!

[Tomas C Ulrichsen @TUlrichsen]

@hamish_mcalpine Very much looking forward to this event! It’s an exciting and much needed survey!

[Tomas C Ulrichsen @TUlrichsen]

@hamish_mcalpine No matter how hard we try… it just doesn’t change!

[David Sweeney @dsweeneyUK]

Just sometimes hard truths turn out to be good news. These people, at the sharp end of commercialising US academic research, are telling us that we’re good at…. the sharp end of commercialising UK research. It’s just that it’s a tough gig whichever country you are in.

@Dr_Ulrichsen Thanks! Exciting times!

[Tomas C Ulrichsen @TUlrichsen]

Many thanks to @profsicollinson and @fumi_kitagawa for joining us at UCI yesterday to talk about how we can better leverage STEM assets in a region to drive economic impacts! Very much looking forward to seeing where these discussions take us!

[Simon Collinson @profsicollinson]

A big thanks to @TUlrichsen and @IfMCambridge for hosting us for a great discussion. Incredible range of STEM assets here, including the IfM. A reminder that we need to maintain S&T leadership globally, but distribute R&D benefits more widely, locally.

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.

[Tomas C Ulrichsen @TUlrichsen]

Thoughts with on the importance of research commercialisation in 'going for growth' from recent article in @NCUBtweets #SoR2022. Need to move beyond either/or mentality in R&I funding and adopt more system-thinking & both/and mindset to policy action.
