In the fall of 2024, the University Industry Liaison Office and entrepreneurship@UBC formed Innovation UBC to more closely integrate and align their support with the needs of UBC researchers. At that critical juncture, the Innovation UBC Engagement Team also undertook a process of gathering feedback from UBC’s Research Community through a survey circulated from the Associate Dean of Research Offices. Through this presentation, we hope to re-introduce Innovation UBC’s services and how we support researchers, how we have responded to the feedback we received, and engage in open dialogue with Faculty members.
