This is the bi-annual meeting of ASTP’s National Association Advisory Council (NAAC). Chaired by Vice President for the NAAC Hana Kosová, the invited representatives of each national association will discuss the issues facing the sector in each NAAC member-state.
Founding academics are vital to the business in the early years but few leave their posts within the university.
It is better for the company, the university, and the academic, if they keep a close association with both. However, this entails the academic wearing multiple ‘hats’ and creates the potential for damaging conflict-of-interest situations.
What are the main sources of conflict, what problems can they cause and what is the KTO’s role in minimising, avoiding or managing these conflicts?
Speaker: Jeff Skinner
