Business, Innovation and Commercialisation Committee
About the committee
A network of senior Business Development Managers (BDMs) operates within the University. The Business, Innovation and Commercialisation Support Unit within Research and Innovation Services has been formed to provide coordination of these networks, resulting in the formalisation of existing networks into the Business, Innovation and Commercialisation Committee (BICC). BICC reports quarterly to Research Policy Committee
