Who is organising this?

Amplitude is the result of Research Units within Waterford Institute of Technology and Carlow Institute of Technology coming together to help industry understand the benefits academic research can have on their sectors. The first of its kind in the South East, this event will drive discussion around future trends, the dramatic impact research can have on industry and how future technologies can be adopted for each sector. Between each unit, almost every industry can gain from working with both Institutes to grow, develop and improve their product, processes or services – no matter the size.
