Collaborative Research

Collaborative Research is a great way of partnering with the University. Partners can secure the benefits of cutting-edge research expertise and an option to exclusively licence the Foreground IP that’s generated. A Collaborative Research interaction can be complemented with other forms of partnership, such as studentships and in some cases grow to cross-University interaction and long-term strategic partnership. 

Collaborative Research is not just for industry, but also for RTOs, the NHS and Social Mission partners.

Spin-in Investment

In certain cases, our Collaborative Research partners and Licensees have gone on to secure investment from the University.
