Innovate & Elevate: University Insights for Business Transformation
Extreme Environment and Human Physiology
In-person tour & online presentation
Any questions, please contact: ktp@port.ac.uk
Perfect for organisations pushing the boundaries of human performance and sport innovation, this event showcases our extensive facilities within our School of Psychology, Sport & Health Sciences, such as our Extreme Environments and Psychophysiology Laboratories.
You’ll learn how you can access these incredible facilities and work with us to overcome your next business challenge, supported by the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) scheme. With a KTP we’ll work with you to develop a one to three-year project that provides a dedicated associate, access to our facilities and is up to 75% funded.
Previous KTP projects have helped organisations to launch new products and services, develop new capabilities and new processes to increase productivity.
Who should attend:
UK based businesses looking to develop new products or processes or test current ones, with a focus in one or more of the below:
- Health & Nutrition
- Supplements
- Randomised health/clinical trials
- Clothing health technology
- Extreme environments
- Human factors
- Nutritional supplements
- Biomech
- Rehab
- General physiology
Also of interest:
- Any companies who are interested in studying how humans respond and/or adapt to a stressor (e.g. hot, cold, hypoxic, exercise/movement, psychological stress). These studies can help in developing new innovations in: clothing, wearables, supplementation, medical devices, human movement, training, sport, AI, VR and AR).
- Pompey in the Community
- Private hospitals
- Councils
- NGO's
- Charities
How you will benefit:
Stay ahead of industry trends, discover exciting emerging technologies, and connect with our academic experts. This event will be an opportunity to explore potential collaborations, gain fresh insights and uncover solutions that can accelerate product development and drive competitive advantage.
Event information

Presenters
Ant’s research career focuses on using novel interventions (for example; nutrition or extreme environments) to improve metabolic and cardiovascular health, quality of life and physical function. Ultimately, his research revolves around patient benefit. He is also interested in understanding the pathophysiology of specific chronic diseases in order to elucidate any potential therapeutic strategies.
Joe is currently the Associate Head of Research and Innovation in the School of Sport, Health and Exercise Science. Joe’s primary research interests are directed toward understanding the physiological effects of various stressors (e.g. heat, cold, and hypoxia) on human performance. He has a particular interest in exploring the mechanisms responsible for a decrement in performance, both physical and cognitive, following exposure to these extreme environments.
