The next meeting of the Kent Enterprise and Impact Network (KEIN) will take place on Tuesday 8th November, 12:15 – 13:45, Keynes Seminar Room 12 (KS12) on Canterbury Campus.
KEIN, a network jointly created by Kent Innovation & Enterprise (KIE) and Learning and Development (L&D), brings together staff interested in collaboration. Academics, researchers, technicians and other members of staff can explore innovation and enterprise activities, maximising the impact of their work, and alternative sources of funding, in an informal setting.
November’s session will focus on delivering consultancy to external partners. There will be a presentation from Zita Stone, Kent Business School, about her recent experience of working with Waitrose then KIE’s Kate Farrow (Innovation Officer – Contracts) will offer a hands-on guide to the support systems and processes in place for delivering consultancy opportunities.
