SPEERI Annual Conference 2026

The SPEERI Annual Conference 2026, “Connect to Collaborate”, will explore how we can turn connections into meaningful collaboration — and collaboration into innovation and impact.

Collaborative working across academia, industry and the public sector is core to the SPEERI mission.

This year’s conference will focus on the practical steps that help make those collaborations happen: finding the right partners, communicating ideas effectively, developing compelling pitches and proposals, engaging with funders and making the most of opportunities to work together.
