At the Earlham Institute, we aim to adopt innovation through collaborations and partnerships.
This year, we're putting our partners and collaborators in the spotlight, showcasing how our combined efforts are tackling challenges and driving real-world impact through cutting edge research, technology development, innovation, knowledge exchange and developing relevant skills.
With talks from some of our collaborators, including the Natural History Museum, BBRO and Agilent Technologies, the programme has been designed to show the diverse ways to engage with EI.
- Technology Development: Showcasing examples of technologies developed collaboratively, and their applications, from crop improvement to microbiome research.
- Knowledge Exchange and Transferring Skills: Demonstrating the impact of staff exchanges and student placements for capacity building and knowledge transfer.
- Innovation Showcase: Featuring innovation projects between EI and our collaborators, from studentships to joint ventures.
EI Innovate events foster valuable conversations between academia and industry, helping us to build strategic partnerships and learn more about needs of our stakeholders. An example of an exciting collaboration that resulted from a previous EI Innovate is the Hybrid Wheat Initiative, which connects 25 breeding companies and research institutes worldwide, to resolve the critical challenge of hybrid wheat.
We will have a dedicated networking session designed to bring together delegates and EI researchers with similar interests. At registration, you will be asked to choose 1-2 topics of interest from:
- Omics technologies and bioengineering
- Software, tools and data science
- Genomics for breeding
-
Genomics for health
Exhibition Area
During EI Innovate we will be hosting exhibitors showcasing technologies and services relevant to our research and innovation areas. Exhibitors will have an opportunity to showcase their technologies as well as to learn about research and technology development at EI and discuss applications of their technology with event attendees.
If you are interested in exhibiting at EI Innovate, please contact Business Development.
Who is this event for
