The Innovation Launchpad Network+ (ILN+), established in October 2022, was set up to foster collaboration between academia and the Catapults and cultivate a robust pipeline of innovative ideas spanning various sectors. At the heart of the network lies the Researcher in Residence (RiR) scheme, a cornerstone initiative that has catalysed 107 high-impact projects across three strategic domains: Net Zero, Resilience, and Health and Wellbeing, and encompassing all nine Catapults.
The inaugural RiR Showcase serves as a strategic platform to showcase the researchers work and discuss the outcomes of their projects. This gathering aims not only to highlight their achievements but also to chart the future trajectories of their work. Importantly, these projects will be presented collaboratively, showing how the RiRs and the Catapults have worked together to advance the shared understanding.
The RiR Showcase will take place in London on Wednesday 9th April 2025. Venue tba.
The agenda for the event will be announced in due course, but expect to see flash presentations, long-form discussions, networking, demonstrations from RiRs and Catapults plus thought leadership covering our key themes: Net Zero, Resilience and Health and Wellbeing.
Spaces for demonstrations, speakers and presentations will be very limited and will be allocated on first come, first serve basis. Registration for this will be open on [enter date].
