Full GOLD program (PDF) >

The GOLD Session is made up of two parts. The first has two invited talks on issues of interest to both young professionals in industry and also those in academia. Our first presenter is Professor Ted Rappaport, Chair in Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He will be talking on “Starting a company from research”. Our other invited speaker is Dr Tao Zhang, Director of Mobile Networking Research Group at Telcordia Technologies. His topic is “The changing environment and the new challenges in industry-based telecommunications research labs”.

The second part of the GOLD Session is a panel forum devoted to entrepreneurship. It aims to bring together information and examples of interest to young graduate researchers and young professionals who are interested in talking ideas to market. Each panellist will present for 10 to 15 minutes. A Question & Answer session will follow and we would really like you to come along and ask about the issues which you are facing, or interested in.

We hope you think that the GOLD Session will be exciting and motivating. Come along and enjoy.
