The Festival of Ideas is an annual event held on campus, bringing together academia and industry for a day of thought-provoking talks and discussion.
Each year, Leeds University Business School academics share their expertise and highlight where they see potential for collaboration – we have experts looking to collaborate with other University of Leeds Faculties, graphic designers, computer scientists, health charities, HR specialists, car manufacturers, policymakers and more.
With plenty of time dedicated to discussion throughout the day, we hope guests take the opportunity to engage with our experts, co-develop research ideas and partner with the Business School on future projects.
