4th July 2014 Doctorates, Practice and Entrepreneurship; some challenges for research
Colleagues from across the UK attended. The first speaker, an entrepreneur who had undertaken the IWBL DProf stated that his personal journey and academic guidance for an innovative research and development project was the crucial aspect of his achievement. The second speaker, an academic at UCL had undertaken an Eng D and found key elements of entrepreneurship were building networks and trusted relationships with a creativity that ‘shifts ideas to market’. Delegates discussed the nature of impact and how it can be of benefit to people, methodologies that incorporate personal transformation and tangible outcomes that demonstrate impact, industry representation on peer review and a wider definition of ethics that bring morals and values into greater significance. It was concluded that there is a change in the habitus of academics that takes them further into practice and ‘real world’ data. The event was held in the iconic art deco building, 80 The Strand
