Who are you going to call……well, a scientist actually!
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - May 12 ) From an engagement and getting innovation out into wider business point of view, Industrial Research has been fronting footing it quite a bit in the past 18 months.
The Crown Research Institute continued its play of getting its 'brains' out into the business sector with yesterday's launch of 'Scientist for a Day'.
This initiative, where businesses who might have a process, product or general problem/challenge, can have a scientist (or engineer for that matter) pop along to their premises - free - for a day (though that can actually be split up across two or three days if required).
Given that IRL is New Zealand's major concentration of applied chemistry, physics, mathematics and process engineering R&D, it strikes sticK as being an excellent offer.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation & commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based news service concentrating on following the money from ideas to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @ gmail.com
