“To me the UIIN conference is actually all about getting inspired – through the informal talks with my peers and friends, practitioner presentations and the keynotes from internationally renowned thoughts leaders. Each year I go home with a precise idea of what I and my organization should do better to enhance university-industry interaction. It is not surprising that the UIIN conference has become the largest conference on university-industry interaction worldwide.”

Lars Frolund
Development Manager, Corporate Relations and Technology Transfer at Aarhus University, Denmark

“The UIIN Conferences provide the participants with first class knowledge and networking opportunities. It’s triple helix, open innovation and co-creation in one take. Entrepreneurship education in a state-of-the-art setting and environment.”

Jean-Pierre Segers
Dean, PXL University College, Belgium

“I find the University-Industry Interaction Conference interesting for several reasons, but it is the opportunity to attend, in a single event, academic and practitioner’s presentations which makes it a unique conference. As member of the academic community, I especially value the insights provided by companies about their strategies to interact with universities.”

Dr. Alfredo Yegros-Yegros
Researcher, Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), University of Leiden, The Netherlands

“I am always impressed by the energy, enthusiasm and originality of the UIIN conferences on this vitally important topic, as well as the quality of the keynote speakers and the thoroughness with which the conferences are organised. I always learn something new.”

Professor David Kirby
Vice President, The British University in Egypt

“The UIIN conference is unique in its size, scope and quality. A great place to meet other UIC professionals from around the world and a clear value-add for my work.”

Max Riedel
Senior Consultant University Relations at SIEMENS

“The UIIN conference is the most important international event in my annual calendar. As a platform to share and learn from both theory and practice it is of significant value, yet nevertheless, the opportunity to meet and network with others operating in boundary spanning roles is the main benefit.”

Dr. Irene Sheridan
Head of CIT Extended Campus, Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland
