FBE Research afternoon - Research Funding from Companies & New ZAP
Tuesday, 13 May, 2025 - Cloister of the Grauwzusters (Patio and Chapel)
On Tuesday 13 May 2025, 12:00-16:30, the FBE Research Committee organises a Research Afternoon, around the central theme of research funding from companies. There will be a panel discussion about funding through chairs, a presentation about Baekeland mandates and about contract research. We start the afternoon with an inspiring lunch, during which the recently appointed ZAP members will present themselves and their research in a TED talk.
The Research Afternoon provides an excellent opportunity to connect with your fellow FBE researchers, to get to know your new ZAP colleagues, and to inspire you with some successful examples of private research funding.
