COLLABORATE INNOVATE | ADELAIDE, MAY 15-17 2012 | DAYS LEFT!
| You are here: Home

Welcome

Collaboration is a key issue for any researcher, innovator or indeed any business in today’s environment. Anyone that wants to make a real difference should be skilled at collaboration.

Collaboration improves the speed and the quality of innovation. The connections, associations and creativity that come with collaboration make it much more likely that an idea can become an innovation. Innovation is a key driver of productivity and competitiveness as well as the wellbeing of our society and environment.

Opportunities to collaborate are growing fast – it’s now possible to have tens of thousands of potential customers have input to a product or service that is still on the drawing board. But collaborating isn’t something that happens automatically or by chance – it needs work and it needs skills.

Collaborate | Innovate | 2012 will put collaboration under the microscope. What works? What doesn’t? You’ll hear from experts in collaboration and find out about how better collaboration can help your ideas have a greater impact.

Adelaide is a great place for a meeting and there’s no better place to meet in Adelaide than at the National Wine Centre. We plan to help celebrate the Australian Year of the Farmer at our Welcoming Event by showing off the best produce Australia has to offer. Your registration will include attendance at the Inaugural Australian Collaborative Research Awards. We are also partnering with the Australasian Research management Society and Westpac to provide you with a greater range of workshop options.

With our focus on collaboration, more partners, more workshops and a celebration of Australian food and wine at one of the country’s best venues, why not send an extra team member to Adelaide? We’ve even kept our registration prices unchanged from 2010 (which was unchanged from 2009) and introduced a great incentive for those who sign up before the program is released.

We look forward to meeting you at Collaborate | Innovate | 2012.
