Both are also crucial for building the next chapter of the internet, the metaverse.

What are possible forms of collaborations between academic partners and industry players? What are the formats, skills and mindset that are essential for the success of bridging academia and industry. What motivates researchers to collaborate with industry partners and vice versa?
