Practical Industry Engagement (PIE)

Practical Industry Engagement (PIE) is a funded Early Career Researcher initiative powered by the Faculty of Engineering and IT (FEIT) Research Services Team, and is offered to ECRs in other Academic Divisions.

PIE combines two networking events, three innovation training seminars and three pitch panels. By participating, ECRs will be able to better engage industry by developing skills in:

• Promoting your research outside of academia
• Gaining a better understanding of what industry wants
• Translating your research
• Networking with and learning from ECRs from different disciplines
• Finding new sources of funding for your research
• Finding opportunities to join a multidisciplinary team to solve an industry problem
• Being better prepared for the government R&D research agenda

Eligibility
