Designed to Provide a Supportive Pathway for Assessment of Commercialisation / IMPACT Potential for Macquarie University Research Groups, Researchers and HDR Candidates.


Course Overview:

• As Government funding for research has continued to decrease, coupled with the COVID epidemic impacting our student revenues, researchers need to seek alternate funding sources to continue their work.
•
 The Office of Commercialisation and Innovation and the Incubator have developed a blended learning program for researchers and HDR Candidates to actively assess the path of their research to commercialisation / IMPACT.
•
 The program provides an interactive, practical and cohort-based approach that takes researchers through the process of:
•   customer discovery
•   product market fit
•   the impact and value proposition canvas
•
After the program, participants will have learned new skills to be able to view their research through the lenses of their customers and investors and make evidence-based decisions about their research, pursuing the best commercialisation pathway for maximum impact.
