Seminars Series

Institute of Innovation Seminar Series

The Institute of Innovation Research (IoIR) brings together CRIC and PREST and was created following a successful bid for JIF funding by the University of Manchester and UMIST. The objective of these seminars is to provide an opportunity for researchers at the Institute and others to present work in progress and ideas for future work. The complete list of seminars is given below. If anyone would like to present a paper please contact Professor Bruce Tether. The format for presentation is open, for example it can be a paper with a discussant or a workshop that looks at a specific theme and asks participants to consider questions. Please come along to the sessions which interest you - it is the best way for us to share ideas and move towards the new Institute as a research community.

Seminars are held on:

Monday afternoons - 3.30pm to 5.00pm, in room 10.05, Conference Suite of the Harold Hankins Building
(tea and coffee available from 3.30pm)
