Creating your question(s)
Company questions posed to AIMday will be communicated via this website to academics and researchers throughout the University of Edinburgh, allowing them to select the questions they feel they can add most value to according to their individual expertise.
When registering your question, please ensure that you can facilitate access to the necessary data or details to develop a solution to your challenge. When phrasing your question(s), please ensure that they are concrete and clear (with no abbreviations) and that they can be discussed openly. This style of question works best for the AIMday format.
It helps to add context and background to your question(s), so that it is clear what exactly your challenge is and how our academics could potentially help find the solution.
We also recommend that at least two company representatives are available to join the discussion of each your questions in order to have a better balance in the session. The company representatives should be well versed in the topic of the question(s) submitted and be prepared to provide further context and background.
We welcome up to three questions from each participating company or organisation.
Some example questions are listed below. You are welcome to contact us if you need help phrasing an appropriate question.
