About the event
The Innovation Funding Sandpit: Shaping Collaborative Projects is a practical, interactive half‑day event designed to help academics, businesses and innovation professionals navigate innovation funding and actively build new collaborations.
Hosted by Cardiff University Innovation Network and the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute (NMHI), the event combines expert insight from funders, real-world case studies, and hands‑on “Collab Clinics” to move beyond awareness and into action.
By the end of this interactive session, participants will have:
clearer understanding of relevant funding routes
new academic–business connections
early‑stage collaboration ideas shaped and stress‑tested
