1. A mixture of science and practice – We foster both the research ON, as well as practical experience IN university-industry interaction. We believe that through this mixture of sharing research results on how to interact and, at the same time sharing experiences on these interactions our attendees are best equipped to further drive the interaction between university and industry.

2. Insights into the minds of renowned leaders – Keynote speakers at UIIN events represent both the academic as well as the industry perspective, with past speakers being amongst others best-selling book authors, leaders of entrepreneurship centres, scientific experts as well as managers from SIEMENS, Volkswagen and Konica Minolta.

3. Get to work through hands-on workshops – We perceive it to be crucial for our participants to engage in practical workshops to, amongst others, reflect on their own understanding of the collaboration between university and industry, but also to interact and network with peers, whether this is on- or offline.

4. Expanding networks and knowledge base – We believe in building long lasting relationships and sharing knowledge beyond the actual conference days. As such, we offer plenty of networking opportunities throughout our conference and after, and publish both the excellent practice-based and research-based papers from conference speakers in our UIIN Conference Proceedings.
