The next meeting of the Kent Enterprise and Impact Network (KEIN) will take place on Wednesday, 8th November, 12.00 -14.00, Gillingham Building, G3-05 – Medway 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.

This session will give information on the subject of enterprise funding. KIE’s Chris Nash (Innovation Officer for Funding) will deliver a presentation on the support offered for enterprise funding, and Dr John Dickinson, Reader in the School of Sports and Exercise Sciences, will share his experiences of working with external organisations as partners and clients, will tell us about his recently awarded a Knowledge Transfer Partnership, with Manchester-based, Smart life, worth £163, 000.

All University staff are welcome to attend. To reserve your place at the session, including a free light lunch, please email entadmin@kent.ac.uk and specify any dietary or access requirements.

If you would like to come along for the presentations only, you are welcome to turn up on the day without booking a place and feel free to bring your lunch with you.

After a networking lunch, there will be two short presentations with Q+A, and informal discussion.

If you have any enterprise ideas or ideas prompted by the presentations, this is also an opportunity to share these and hear about how the University can provide support
