"Creating Wealth from Knowledge: Practice and Policy
Industrial Symposium: 25th and 26th September 2008, Downing College, Cambridge, UK
Structure of the event
The Symposium is limited to about 100 participants in order to retain open discussion and a good networking atmosphere. The programme is a mixture of keynote plenary presentation from leading international figures in innovation and technology management, case study sessions providing more opportunity to discuss particular company experiences in a more informal setting, and small group workshops which give access to some of the latest practical research findings.
