A key role of grey literature is to provide an interface between industry and academic research. In this episode, we continue our focus on innovation in grey literature by interviewing Dr Joseph Gibbons, Principal Technical Advisor at Natural Power Ireland.

Joseph outlines a scheme he established to enable doctoral students to spend time in industry, working on research projects that formed the basis of their dissertations.

Joseph explains:

• what the scheme entails
• its rationale
• how it was implemented
• above all, the benefits of the scheme for all stakeholders.
