Dr Harput has been invitated by Ambassador Ümit Yalçın, for “Leaders in Innovation Fellowship” networking event that he will be hosting on Tuesday, 28th January 2020 at the Ambassadorial Residence.
The Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) programme, which is run by the Royal Academy of Engineering and supported by the Newton Fund, works with engineers, academics and researchers in 16 countries, who have an innovation that could have a positive social or economic impact in their own countries or other developing nations. 15 participants from each country are chosen to attend an intensive 2-week entrepreneurship training course in London followed by up to a year of one-to-one support in their home countries to build their capacity to bring their innovations to market. There is a global community of over a thousand innovators working across a wide range of engineering disciplines and sectors tackling complex global challenges, including medical technology, agrotechnology and food security, water and sanitation, sustainable energy, and data infrastructure.
