Thursday Nov 17th, 6.00 - 8.30pm
🎵On the 17th of November we will be joined by Dr Susie Mitchell, Programme Director for Glasgow City of Science and Innovation. We will be talking about creating an environment for unexpected tech collaborations and how these innovations can help influence societal changes.
Throughout her career Susie has worked seamlessly across different sectors, proving that science and the creative industry are not two worlds apart. From achieving award-winning research during her PhD in cancer research, to delivering lasting policy changes for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, being recognised as a leading Women in Scotland for her contribution to STEM, oh and also a session musician with the BBC!
Since joining Glasgow City of Science and Innovation (GCOSI), Susie has been involved at the heart of the innovation system in Glasgow, collaborating with over 90 different partners, running of VentureJam a youth programme for the next generation of innovators and the award-winning event series Art of Possible. She has been able to use her experience and passion for music and science to bring together diverse groups of people including creatives, academics, policy experts, and entrepreneurs to explore and solve challenges.
If we remove siloes between sectors who knows what we can achieve!
