ChemEng Enterprise: tackling global challenges a spinout at a time
Enterprise committee
The Enterprise Committee's objective is to establish and embed “translation” across the Department of Chemical Engineering, and to recognise it on par with teaching and research, so as to maximise its potential and impact.
Working with the Department's Strategic Advisory Board, Imperial Enterprise and external organisations, it fosters, develops and supports an enterprise culture. This includes:
- Transferring to the Chemical Engineering and broader Imperial community our research and teaching innovations with commercialisation potential
- Patenting
- Encouraging spinouts
- Encouraging social enterprise missions
- Its membership is inclusive, with representatives from the department's PhD, Postdoc and Research Fellow constituency, in addition to academic and technical support members.
