SUMMARY:Finding the essence. Businesses facilitating knowledge transfer
DESCRIPTION:Startups play an increasing role in facilitating knowledge tran
 sfer processes\, including the transfer of scientific results into society
 \, businesses\, and politics. At our September meetup\, we welcome two spe
 akers who both founded knowledge-driven startups. They will talk about the
 ir experience of becoming founders as well as their perspective on knowled
 ge transfer and the impact of science:\n\n 	From dissertation to startup t
 o thriving business – Dr. Robin Tech\, founder of AtomLeap\, a big data
  analytics startup based in Berlin. He’s also a researcher at the Berlin
  Science Center and MIT\, Cambridge\, and an alumni of HIIG.\n 	The challe
 nges and pleasures of creating content businesses – Sebastian Klein\, fo
 under of Blinkist and partner at the think tank TheDive. He is a publisher
  of the magazine Neue Narrative.\n\nFINDING THE ESSENCE\nBusinesses facili
 tating knowledge transfer\nImpact of Science · September Meetup\nMonday\,
  17 September 2018 | 7.00 pm – 9.00 pm | Doors open 6.30 pm\nHIIG | Fran
 zösische Straße 9 | 10117 Berlin\nRSVP\nThis meetup special is part of t
 he 2018 Impact School which takes place at HIIG from 17–19 September.\nM
 eetup series\nThis meetup is part of a regular series on the impact of sci
 ence jointly organised by Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet an
 d Society (HIIG)\, Impact Distillery\, and Elephant in the Lab.\nThere is 
 a pressing need for informed expertise from virtually all fields of academ
 ic research. Still\, scientific expertise often remains within its own dom
 ain and only reaches relevant decision-makers in civil society indirectly 
 and belatedly. The prevalence of citation metrics to measure scholarly imp
 act often compels researchers to focus on article publications in discipli
 nary journals. Prominent policy makers and research funders therefore incr
 easingly place the question of societal impact at the top of their agenda.
 \nThe event series aims to create a platform for experts and the intereste
 d community around Open Science\, Knowledge Transfer and related topics. I
 n short talks we invite experts to shed light on the exchange between poli
 tics\, business\, media and academia. Individual meetups explore disciplin
 ary particularities and innovative formats of knowledge exchange.\n\nJoin 
 the discussion and stay tuned by signing up to the meetup group!\nJOIN THE
  GROUP\n
