The Research Adventure Podcast shares interviews with university researchers and research-adjacent professionals who have turned research into real-world outcomes through routes such as industry partnerships, spinouts, licensing, and social enterprise. It’s useful as “on-demand mentoring”: short, concrete stories that surface what works (and what doesn’t) when collaborating beyond the university.
The podcast is helpful because it:
- Normalises the messy middle of external-facing work
- Gives concrete examples from UK universities
“Networking with others has helped me find a sense of belonging and camaraderie.”
