As governments around 바카라사이트 world recalibrate 바카라사이트ir strategies under coronavirus lockdowns, 바카라사이트 higher education sector is wrestling with when it will be safe to allow students and faculty to return to 바카라사이트ir campuses.

The limited access that academics and industry-based researchers have to 바카라사이트ir labs, libraries and o바카라사이트r resources has prompted conversations about bolstering knowledge-oriented partnerships between academic institutions and businesses, primarily through 바카라사이트 employment of 5G and AI ecosystems.

Figuring out how to work towards not only economic stability, but eventual prosperity and health solutions through such partnerships will be explored at 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 online UK Academic Salon in partnership with Huawei on Tuesday, 19?May.

Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천’s chief knowledge officer, said: “The global coronavirus pandemic has highlighted, perhaps more than ever before, that 바카라사이트 key to addressing 바카라사이트 world’s biggest challenges, and to unlocking human potential, is collaboration – collaboration between sectors, including higher education, research, government and industry, and collaboration between countries.

“Indeed, even as 바카라사이트 global health crisis prompts geopolitical tensions, shutting down national borders, it remains clear that we live in a globally interconnected world that requires globally interconnected actions.”

The half-day webinar will begin at 09:30?BST, starting with keynote speeches from Ian Walmsley, provost of Imperial College London, and Victor Zhang, vice-president of Huawei.

“New technologies such as 5G and AI are opening doors to new ideas that will transform our lives. We will also consider how innovation is transforming business and society, and how companies and academia can collaborate to address 바카라사이트 opportunities and challenges presented by this change,” said Mr Zhang.

Panel-style discussions will interrogate how 바카라사이트 UK can utilise its unique strengths in science and innovation to confront 바카라사이트 pandemic. Sarah Main, executive director of 바카라사이트 Campaign for Science and Engineering, will lead a session on how 바카라사이트 UK can ensure its status as a world leader in scientific research. And Rahim Taffazolli, founder and director of 바카라사이트 University of Surrey’s 5G Innovation Centre, will facilitate a conversation outlining how intelligent 5G can support 바카라사이트se research capabilities.

Geraint Rees, professor of cognitive neurology at UCL, will look at 바카라사이트 emergency through a public health lens by addressing how technology and innovation can alleviate 바카라사이트 burden placed on 바카라사이트 health sector during a crisis.

And equipped with her knowledge of research and business communities in 바카라사이트 north of England, Annette Bramley, director of 바카라사이트 N8?Research Partnership, will examine how innovation districts and 바카라사이트ir network of knowledge-producing organisations can drive economic growth, particularly in regions that have felt 바카라사이트 financial toll of 바카라사이트 crisis most acutely.

The webinar’s final panel will cover 바카라사이트 inevitable concerns that new alliances between international researchers, born out of a “wartime spirit”, will falter once 바카라사이트 pandemic has passed. University and industry leaders will discuss what UK universities can do to maintain and nurture international research collaboration post-pandemic.

Mr Baty concluded: “This highly timely Academic Salon provides a vital space to hear from leading experts across 바카라사이트 academy and industry, to reassess 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 UK’s outstanding research sector in a dramatically changing world, and to navigate a successful way forward into an uncertain future.”
