What’s in it for academics

AIMday helps you understand the real needs of external organisations and how these relate to your own research. What is more, it provides you a golden opportunity to obtain inspiration, knowledge and contacts which benefit your own research and teaching. As an academic you self-select challenges when registering for an AIMday event and hence you share knowledge and ideas with organisations, and even other researchers, within your specific area of interest.

Collaboration enables the academic knowledge base to make an impact and be of use in society, while also providing new inspiration for education and research. AIMday provides a unique opportunity to identify areas of common interest with organisations and other researchers for current and future objectives. The format provides a favorable starting point to discuss and initiate concrete partnerships in various forms with organisations and fellow researchers across departmental and disciplinary borders.
