Working with business and industry
We work with a variety of partners and in a number of ways to support business goals.
Our Business Development Team also helps academics form and sustain industry-academic partnerships for innovation and collaborative research and development funding.
For larger multi-disciplinary programmes, such as the Industry Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF), for example, we work in cooperation with Edinburgh Innovations for wider access to University expertise, facilities and resources.
| Our most common models of collaboration include: | We are broadly working across the following key themes: |
|---|---|
| Sponsored research | Geoenergy |
| Government-funded collaborative R&D programmes | Space and satellites |
| Consultancy | Digital health and the environment |
| Studentships | Supporting the net-zero transition |
| Knowledge transfer partnerships | |
| Commercialisation, licensing and company spin-out |
