The Location
InnovationKT-2013 will be hosted by the University of Ulster in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland's second city is famous, amongst other things, for its walls, a symbol of the city's rich legacy of history and tradition. The city is a busy and expanding commercial centre which has been experiencing a sustained period of growth and regeneration; a process in which the University has played an important part.
The conference will be held at the excellent City Hotel Derry. The hotel enjoys one of the most idyllic locations; perched on the banks of the River Foyle within 5 minutes walking distance of the historic Derry Walls. Derry is situated on the threshold of County Donegal, which is rightly famous for its wild and open beauty.
The Organisers
InnovationKT2013 is organised by KES International in partnership with the Institute of Knowledge Transfer and the University of Ulster. It follows successful events in the series held in 2009 (Kingston), 2010 (Coventry) 2011 (Sheffield) and 2012 (Bournemouth).
