Following the successful inaugural event last year, academics from Strathclyde Business School exhibited this year on November 2 at the Glasgow Science Centre alongside colleagues from across the university. Expo 2010 is a unique platform allowing researchers to interact informally with organisations to discuss problems, ideas and potential collaborations, both for those who have specific projects in mind or those who simply want to find out more about the world-class research produced at Scotland's leading business school.
Strathclyde University Principal Professor Jim McDonald said: "The current economic climate is affecting every sector of society, and will present new challenges for us all. But by working together, universities, businesses and the public sector have an opportunity to develop opportunities for growth and ultimately, have a positive impact on the wider economy.
"Strathclyde academics are already working closely with a wide range of organisations, undertaking world-leading research to help address global challenges, creating the technologies of the future, and developing the highly skilled and professional graduates needed by employers."
He added, "We are proud of our long and successful links with commerce and industry and are committed to working with businesses to encourage innovation, help them explore their potential and become more competitive."
