Amplitude, the annual conference led by the Technology Transfer offices and Research Centres from Institute of Technology Carlow and Waterford Institute of Technology returns this November, supporting industry and helping companies understand the impact of research on their business, industries and sectors.
Taking place at Lyrath Estate Hotel Kilkenny on Wednesday, 6th November, this year’s Amplitude conference will see big names in Precision Agriculture, Future Health, Smart Energy as well as the manufacturing, engineering and design sectors come together with academics, business people and the wider public and learn how to access funding from National and EU Calls and submit a winning proposal.
Leading figures from Enterprise Ireland and the IDA, Knowledge Transfer Ireland and the Department of Health will all address the day-long conference. Early bird tickets remain on sale at just €40 each until 27th September and €85 thereafter on www.Amplitude.ie
Among the invited guest speakers are experts from UPMC International and Smart Agri Hubs Ireland, as well as Horizon 2020, VHI, Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), the National Development Research Centre (NDRC) and more.
Amplitude 2019 offers a unique opportunity for companies, particularly multi-nationals and SME’s, to understand how relatively easy it is to collaborate with an IOT partner in the areas of research, innovation support and the sourcing suitable funding streams, according to Mark White, Vice-President for Research & Innovation, WIT.
“This year, the conference will focus on four key streams: Design/Manufacturing/Engineering, Smart Energy, Future Health and Precision Agri. Each stream will outline the ecosystem, the current state of the art and the opportunities as we endeavour to offer delegates a real insight into the impact research will have on their business.”
Amplitude is a must for business people who want a more direct route to research and funding, according to IT Carlow’s Vice President for Development & Research, Declan Doyle.
“Companies will discover how to approach a research centre and foster a successful collaborative relationship from academic and industry experts with a goal of boosting their company’s research and development capabilities in this uncertain international business environment,” said Mr. Doyle.
Amplitude is supported by Purdy Lucey and Kilkenny County Council.
