SUMMARY:Adult Deafness in Europe 2016
DESCRIPTION:The impact of hearing loss in adulthood is often underestimated and therefore under funded. Yet today we have exciting hearing technologies which can transform lives. However\, in many countries\, with increasing ageing populations and associated health costs\, access to the hearing technologies may be denied\, or the long-term management not provided. Yet addressing hearing loss early leads to better health outcomes. Now is the time to spend on hearing care to save on health care. \nThis conference address the impact of adult hearing loss\, the real costs of adult hearing loss to Europe\, and how by increasing access to today’s technology across Europe we change lives and save money. \nBringing leading experts from across Europe together to address hearing loss in today’s world. The Ear Foundation’s new report\, ‘Spend to Save’\, will be launched at the conference\, bringing together the latest European research and practice in an accessible format. \nEvent Cost: €120 \nTo find out more or to book your place\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Unlocking funding for your business
DESCRIPTION:Availability of funding options is at an all-time high but it is not always clear what is available and how to apply. Following the Government spending review\, Innovate UK has released its delivery plan and health and life sciences is again one of their priority sectors. September sees the launch of the Health and Life Sciences open funding competition\, allowing all businesses within that sector of any size to submit their innovative R&D projects for funding. \nR&D Tax Credits is increasingly popular with SME and large companies who have invested money in R&D activities. The money is there to claim through HMRC yet the majority of companies do not claim this relief which would release vital funds back into the business for future innovations. Also\, due to lack of knowledge of the scheme many companies will undervalue their claim. \nTBAT Innovation is a business consultancy which specialises in access to funding and assists numerous life sciences companies in claiming both grants and R&D Tax Credits thus ensuring millions in funding is returned to these businesses. \nThis breakfast event will summarise relevant grant funding opportunities\, offer hints and tips on how to apply\, using case study examples plus key facts of HMRCs R&D Tax Credit scheme including detailing what eligible R&D is and how to apply.  \n1-2-1 appointments are available with our experienced consultants following the event which will provide specific advice for your business/project to maximise your funding opportunities. \nTo view the programme\, click on the link below. \nThis event is free to attend\, to book your place please complete the ‘book online form’ below.
