Research collaborations
Typically 2-5 years in length. Sponsorship of a research project close to a company's technical interests and under the direction of a particular academic can bring immense benefit to a company. The sponsorship will include the support of highly motivated and excellent postgraduate researchers.
Corporate University Technology Centres (UTCs)
The Department has a number of Corporate University Technology Centres. These are industrially funded research centres typically staffed by 6 to 25 researchers. These allow companies to facilitate interactive research within the technical and collaborative environment of the Department. From these centres it is possible to for companies to harness excellent research facilities for their own strategic research and to leverage public funding in a specific area of research.
Current corporate UTCs include:
- Rolls Royce UTC in Nickel-base Superalloys
- Pfizer Institute for Pharmaceutical Materials Science
Further information can be found in the Department's Prospectus for Partnership.
