Thursday 1 March 2012 – 2.00pm – 4.00pm

You are invited to the next University Alliance Policy Seminar, Open Doors: Universities open for business?, with Professor Sir Tim Wilson.


Following the Wilson Review of Business – University Collaboration, Professor Wilson will be discussing the review’s findings along with a panel of experts from business and universities.

Universities working with business makes sense. Not just for the economy but for the future of talent, research and innovation in the UK. Open doors will be an opportunity for people from across the university sector, business and anyone with an interest in this area to discuss this collaboration in greater depth and explore ways of improving its effectiveness.

Refreshments will be served from 1.45pm. The event will start at 2.00pm with a panel discussion and Q&A followed by roundtable discussions. 

Who should attend? 

This free event is open to anybody who is interested in the outcome of the Wilson Review, wants to know more about university and business partnerships or/and would like to find out more on how universities can help drive regional and national growth.
