The Bath Guildhall provided a stunning backdrop for the SAMBa Partner Showcase on 28 February 2023. The event brought together industry representatives, academic staff, PhD researchers and alumni to celebrate achievements and identify areas for potential future work.
The SAMBa Partner Showcase brought together industry representatives, academic staff, PhD researchers and alumni to celebrate the collaborative research that has been undertaken since the SAMBa CDT was launched in 2014, and to identify areas for potential future work.
The Showcase provided an amazing platform not only to reflect on what a fantastic journey the last 8 years have been, but also to look forward to an exciting new chapter for SAMBa. It was wonderful to hear success stories from so many of the students, partners and staff we have worked with and to meet a variety of potential new collaborators. SAMBa Co-Director, Dr Susie Douglas

During the afternoon, we learned about the cutting-edge research being undertaken in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the research priorities and challenges of the organisations attending. This set the scene for meeting potential collaborators, discussing the topics presented and exploring ways of working together.
In the final session, we heard three wonderful joint talks from successful SAMBa-industry partnerships. In each talk we learned how a high-level challenge brought to an Integrative Think Tank had developed into a successful long-term research collaboration with a range of outcomes and impact.
Speakers were:
Many thanks to Prof Sarah Hainsworth, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research) for opening the session and to Prof Jonathan Knight, Vice-President (Enterprise) for closing the event.
