Collaborative Research

Collaborating on research leads to positive impact for your organisation.

Working together on research can give your organisation a significant competitive advantage.

We work with partners throughout the private and public sector. Together we create new inventions and technologies and turn ideas into products and services.

We can help you to unlock various funding streams. We have a deep knowledge of funding schemes that support collaboration. There are many schemes that focus on businesses and not-for-profits.

How we can work together

Every partnership is unique. We can find a way to work together that suits you.

Join a research consortium

We work across huge range of fields, sometimes in quite surprising places. Your organisation could lead or join a group tackling a particular challenge, or building on an idea.

Our researchers and partners are developing solutions to some of the most pressing problems facing the world today.

Contract research

You can ask us to undertake research for you. Focussing on the creation of new knowledge and understanding, research is different to consultancy. You can be sure of a world class, independent, rigorous project.

 

Innovation

We have several schemes to help your organisation innovate. Some of our schemes can support you with quick, focussed projects. Others provide much longer, deeper support.


Our Arrow team is your "front door" to all of our services. They will listen to your thoughts and questions. Together you will shape your ideas and questions into a project. Then you will be connected to the best team to help.

Work with future research leaders

PhD students are the future research leaders. Our Doctoral College and Doctoral Training Centres can help you work with emerging research talent.

Policy

Our research influences policy at local, national and international levels. From food standards to helping society's marginalised groups, climate change adaptation to regulatory science of medicines, together we can exchange knowledge and expertise.
