University OUI Hot Desks
Bringing Oxford University Innovation closer to researchers….
Oxford University Innovation staff regularly attend Hot Desks in Oxford University departments. These Hot Desks serve as easy access points for Oxford researchers, students and support staff to talk to us about intellectual property, licensing and venture formation including social enterprises, software commercialisation, academic consultancy or entrepreneurial activities more generally.
Creation of the Hot Desks is done in collaboration with the hosting departments, with the aim that the presence of our staff at the hot desks will make it easier for staff from both hosting and nearby departments to access our expertise and advice.
Some OU researchers and staff also act as OUI Innovation Champions in departments and can be contacted to answer your questions about innovation and enterprise. Find out more about this here.
The operation of Hot Desks was suspended during the pandemic, but we aim to get this up and running again in due course. In the meantime, if you have any questions about how we can support you please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
