Working with industry

We collaborate in a number of industry partnerships.

The Business Development team handles the formation of industry partnerships as well as managing a range of different types of knowledge and technology transfer arrangements. We work in conjunction with ERI (Edinburgh Research and Innovation), which interfaces with industry, driving the creation of strategic research partnerships and collaborations.

Interaction between the industrial and academic sectors makes both more competitive, and generates exciting new ideas and opportunities.

Models of collaboration include:

• Licensing
• Sponsored research
• Consultancy
• Studentships
• Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
• Technology programmes
