Working With Partners

Our Business Development team can help you find a partner, meet the needs of industry, and connect you with the University's support services.

How is working with a partner different?

When working on a research project with a partner you may need to:

• put a confidentiality agreement in place.
• define the research questions together.
• explain how the research outcomes can be used.
• ensure your pricing aligns with the University's pricing framework. 
• initiate a research contract.

We can help

• work through the steps above.
• connect you with relevant industry and government partners.
• align your research project with FAME and Faculty strategies.
• connect you with the research support services you'll need to fund, initiate and manage your project.
• provide advice and support for developing new business with industry - including value propositions, communications, project design and budget.
• conduct training on how to develop and promote industry engagement.
