Working with business
We seek to put science into action through collaborative partnerships with industry. Our specialist expertise helps industrial partners to develop new products or embark on new projects, and we have a proud record of success and impact.
Collaboration
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We’re looking to work alongside forward-thinking external partners with whom we can work on impactful and innovative R&D projects by applying our research skills, technologies and methodologies.
We seek industry partners to engage in projects funded from schemes such as the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, Global Challenge Research Fund, Innovate UK funding competitions, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme. To focus our future research portfolio, direction is provided by the membership of our External Advisory Board.
