SUMMARY:Converge: research commercialisation as impact
DESCRIPTION:Research impact is no longer defined solely by publications, increasingly its significance is measured through real‑world applications.    This Converge session introduces students and researchers to the growing space where academic insight becomes innovation, shedding light on how commercialisation can extend the reach, relevance and societal value of research across disciplines.    Designed for those new to the topic, the workshop breaks down what commercialisation actually involves, how it can complement academic work, and what the earliest steps look like for individuals considering translational or innovation‑driven pathways.    In this session, you will explore:     	what 'impact' now means within the research and innovation landscape   	different routes through which research can evolve into products, services or ventures   	practical first steps for exploring commercial potential in academic work   	examples of ethical, purpose‑driven approaches to research commercialisation   	how Converge supports researchers interested in building impact‑driven enterprises    The workshop will end with time for questions, offering clarity for anyone considering how their academic interests might translate into broader societal change. https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/converge-research-commercialisation-as-impact/
