PhD Student Survey on Industry Engagement & Research Translation

The Technology Transfer Office (TTO) in conjunction with the Doctoral College has put together a survey to gauge the extent of PhD candidates’ engagement with industry (by industry we mean ‘external to academia’). 

The purpose of the survey is to explore how prepared PhD researchers at UL feel about engaging with industry and explaining their research to audiences outside academia. 

The findings will be used only to inform the design of training programmes and to support UL’s research impact activities (e.g. skills development, engagement initiatives, and Technology Transfer Office activities).
