The Chemistry of Collaboration

3 November 2015, Co Durham, United Kingdom


Introduction
If you’re interested in taking your business to a new level, or in a different direction, a chance to make a new connection could be your next step.

We’ve joined forces with the North East Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC) to create an opportunity for chemical science organisations of all sizes, from across the north east and beyond, to meet and network with potential clients and collaborators.

The day’s focus is the value of collaboration, and there will be talks, presentations and one-to-one discussions on this theme, including a keynote speech by innovation expert Professor Roy Sandbach.

One day. One venue. Many new relationships to form.
