What is AIMday?

AIMday® (Academic Industry Meeting Day) is a proven collaboration format that brings organisations and researchers together to discuss real-world challenges.

Participating organisations submit questions in advance, each representing a challenge, opportunity or unmet need. These questions become the focus of dedicated one-hour workshops involving academic experts from relevant disciplines.

The AIMday format helps organisations to:

• Explore complex challenges with multidisciplinary expertise
• Identify opportunities for collaborative research and innovation
• Build new academic-industry partnerships
• Generate ideas for future projects and funding opportunities

One question. One hour. A room full of expertise.
