ScotCHEM’s new research leaders

The 17th June 2019 at the shiny new V&A museum in Dundee Dr Vilà-Nadal took part in a workshop bringing together industrialists, artists and ScotCHEM’s new research leaders. That was an enlightening experience organized by Scotchchem, the meeting   was focussed on innovation, early career researchers (ECR) networking and engagement with industrial contacts.  Laia had the chance to meet with a broad range of fellow ECRs from across Scotland. The workshop gave some insight into how to successfully develop industrial collaborations, and talks by some companies on the how/what/why of their interactions with academics.
