Industry Engagement

Informatics is a specialised, multi-disciplinary field that has become a key enabler in driving innovation and change in business and society. The School of Informatics welcomes opportunities to investigate compelling challenges where our research can deliver impact. We collaborate with academic, private, and public sector partners on research-led projects exploring technology innovation. We also provide consultancy expertise to industry partners deploying novel capabilities.

The Business Development Team helps our partners engage in relevant, valuable work informed by world-class researchers. In addition, the team can identify PhD and Masters-level students with the appropriate interests and talent to assist in innovation and growth projects.

We can help streamline collaborations by:

• Defining value-added research projects
• Negotiating intellectual property rights
• Facilitating technology licensing and acquisition
• Managing confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements
• Coordinating studentships, internships and degree projects
• Hosting industry events and workshops to build relationships
• Accepting philanthropy in conjunction with Development and Alumni
