| University of Oxford to Host Two AIMDays on Ageing and Microscopy |
The AIMday concept has been successfully pioneered by the University of Uppsala, Sweden and used in a wide variety of contexts. The University of Oxford will be hosting two AIMdays, the first on 03 July will focus on Ageing, the second on 17 July will look at Microscopy. It is a no-cost opportunity for companies and organisations to exchange knowledge and ideas with Oxford University academics and clinical researchers.
AIMdays provide a platform for external organisations to make connections with academia that they may have, in the past, struggled to achieve. In particular, this event will provide an opportunity to access the wide range of excellent research being conducted at the University of Oxford with the aim of bridging the knowledge gap between research and industry.
Companies and organisations interested in attending must submit at least one question. This is done using the AIMdays event portal before 31st March 2017. More information on posing questions and example questions can be found together with information on the Ageing AIMday here and the Microscopy AIMday information is here.
