PD Sessions @ Zoom: From Concept to Contract – Research Contracts with Industry: Relationship Mechanism or Legal Tangle
A good research contract can solve many problems and make partnerships with industry and researchers smooth and productive. Research contracts with industry can clarify roles and responsibilities, manage expectations of industry and researchers, help navigate the ethics of the research and ensure mutual protection of intellectual property -both background and new.
You will hear from researchers, industry partners and contract managers as to how they work contracts to be useful tools in a relationship with industry, not just a legal document.
DATE: Wednesday, 16 August 2023
TIME: 12PM - 1PM AEST
SPEAKERS:
Dr Helen Barrie is a Senior Research Fellow and the Director of The Australian Alliance of Social Enterprise research concentration within the Centre for Markets, Values and Inclusion in UniSA Business.
Her research broadly investigates Australia’s changing population and the implications of this for society and communities. Much of this work involves an examination of population diversity; the interaction between people and the built environment; housing, community connectedness, and social networks. Dr Barrie’s most recent work explores how the built environment, especially green and public spaces, influence wellbeing and more specifically, ageing well. This includes exploring housing choices such as retirement village living, vertical communities, inner city ageing and international comparisons of age friendly and dementia friendly cities. Her research often includes innovative approaches such as citizen science, which is a feature of her current ARC Linkage Project that has cultivated Dr Barrie’s international reputation as a leading expert in this niche field that has promising policy, planning, industry, and service delivery outcomes.
Dr Barrie’s key focus since joining UniSA in 2020 has been the development and continuance of strong research partnerships across industry, not-for-profits, government, and academia. In that time, she has won research income valued at nearly $2m across all HERDC funding categories.
Jeff Kasparian
Jeff has worked in R&D management for over 30 years. He has a wireless technology background, and has had various roles managing projects, larger research programs and in operations (responsible for finance, HR, research contracts and all operations functions). He has extensive experience in national and international business development, forming research projects and programs (small and large). A highlight includes a primary role in creating what became the iMOVE CRC (a $240m, 10 year program), including setting up its research and education programs.
He has had various senior manager roles at the University of South Australia, Institute for Telecommunications Research, when it was Australia’s largest university-based wireless communications research group. At its peak it consisted of about 100 academic, engineering, support staff and PhD students, and generated over $10m annually in various research income categories, including ARC Discovery, Linkage, CRCs, consulting and contract research (i.e., across a portfolio of Category 1-5 contracts).
He loves the intersection between industry, academia and government and describes what he does as “whatever needs to be done to made it work”.
He loves cycling, travelling, and walking Georgie the family chihuahua!
