We welcome South Yorkshire’s academics, organisations and businesses to join our free events and activities to network with regional thought leaders and build links with both Sheffield Universities to innovate and drive future collaborations.
How the Innovation Network South Yorkshire can support you
Our team sits across the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University so that we are best placed to connect thought leaders with the regional academics, businesses and organisations they want to meet.
