Partner with us
Collaboration is key
In the last five years, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ has conducted research with more than 2,700 partner organisations. We recognise that big problems can’t be tackled alone, and we value the experience, perspective, and diversity that collaboration brings.
Partnership with a university involves a unique set of challenges and opportunities. We know that our org chart is complicated, and our processes can be slow. It’s sometimes hard for our own people to find who to contact, let alone our partners. But we’re introducing changes – like our FastPASS suite of standard contracts with negotiable IP – and we want to work with you.
For our part, we’ll open the door to world-class research infrastructure, explore avenues for government grant funding, design programs to skill your employees, introduce you to the next wave of student talent, and connect you with the expertise that can elevate and futureproof your business.
