IMPACT DAY
How can the relevance of research be utilized for society, the economy and politics? How can impact be transferred from within the university to the outside world? Knowledge and technology transfer as the third pillar of Heidelberg University are the focus of its first IMPACT DAY. As a space for encounters, the IMPACT DAY offers the opportunity to be inspired, establish new contacts, socialize and exchange ideas. The diversity of Heidelberg University in the field of transfer, from the latest inventions to social innovations, will be presented.
The IMPACT DAY will take place on May 11, 2023 for the first time and will be held in the Chemistry Lecture Hall Centre (IFN 252). The day is divided into the IMPACT FAIR - a market of opportunities - and an evening event where the prizes for the hei_INNOVATION ideas competition will be awarded in addition to a keynote and a panel on 'The understanding of knwoledge and technology transfer at a comprehensive reserach universtiy'.
