On Thursday 12 January 2023, Edinburgh Napier\u2019s recently launched Innovation Hub<\/a> hosted an excellent Symposium on Technology Innovation and Collaboration, and it was one of our first live events after the Covid-19 lockdown period. We, therefore, carefully picked the speakers for a balance of future gazing, some great success stories, and in sharing guidance on finding opportunities for funding.<\/p>\n

Event opening – help to find funding\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

It has been an exciting time for us at Edinburgh Napier University, as our School of Computing recently merged with our School of Engineering and the Built Environment. This has been done under the leadership of our new Dean of our School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, Professor Peter Andras, so it was a natural start to the event to have Professor Andras open the event.<\/p>\n

To kick off our Innovation session, our Head of Enterprise at Edinburgh Napier, Nick Fannin introduced the morning session on Enabling Funding and Routes to Impact.<\/p>\n
