The team engaged with global experts from across Europe to explore how research and innovation can better shape our collective future.
Throughout the week, the conference provided a platform for meaningful dialogue on the evolving role of universities and research institutions in delivering real-world impact. It was inspiring to see LSTM’s E&I team contributing to discussions that push the boundaries of knowledge exchange and innovation.
Innovation Capacity Strengthening Manager, Charles McLoughlin said: “It’s great to be part of an international community so focused on delivering impact through research translation actions. The conversations we have held this week will serve as a great starting point for collaborations that will support us to deliver tangible public health impacts”.The Enterprise and Innovation Team, along with partners, continue to champion efforts to reduce barriers to market, build strong industry partnerships, and accelerate the path from research to implementation.
While the week was packed with thought-provoking sessions, networking, and sector insights, the team also had a chance to enjoy the stunning backdrop of Vilnius at the ASTP 25th Anniversary Dinner.
