Title: Academic synergy and other impact/innovation projects
Abstract: This Wednesday the 16th of September I’ll give a seminar to the School on my “AI for academic synergy” project. This is basically a matchmaking tool for researchers and funding calls. It was funded via the InFrame Research Culture Fund initially, and now a second phase of it is being funded by the University.
As exciting as this project is, I don’t think I need the whole hour to cover it. I would like to add a couple of other impact/innovation projects I am also involved with (nurse rostering, timetabling, last mile delivery driver scheduling) and also talk briefly about contrasting “research” vs “impact/innovation” as I understand them.
