Research Partnerships

We build long-lasting and productive partnerships with businesses small and large, to help find solutions to the challenges facing industry and society. Work with us to solve problems affecting your industry and generate new opportunities.

We work with industry through a wide variety of routes depending on the scale and nature of the research question. These include:

  • Time-limited proof of concept studies (which may make use of trained undergraduate or research students)
  • 1-year MSc projects
  • 3.5-year projects with PhD students fully or part-funded by industry
  • Research projects using highly trained postdoctoral researchers
  • Projects funded by government through schemes such as UKRI Impact Acceleration Accounts, InnovateUK, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, etc.

Please get in touch to discuss your requirements and the best way to work together.
