This meeting continues the acclaimed SPP series, launched in 2012 at the University of Oxford and conducted at leading research and innovation institutions worldwide for over a decade. 

SPP Cambridge 2025, titled “From Discovery to Disruption: Polish Innovation in the UK”, will focus on showcasing how Polish science, business, and innovation can develop and grow in the UK.
