The University of Aberdeen is keen to expand the number of SMEs they work with, especially in the energy and subsea sectors, and this event is the ideal first step to finding out how your firm can benefit from working with the institution.
There are many ways in which businesses can benefit from working and collaborating with universities. From student placements to tackling the specific challenges of your business, by working with you, we ensure that our teaching and research remain relevant to today’s challenges. By working with us, we can help you get access to funding - as well as to our world-class expertise. If you want to find out more, come along to our Lunch ’n’ Learn. The event will be hosted by Professor James Anderson, the leader of the University of Aberdeen’s Energy Theme.
