Research

Blue Sky Research: Either directly funded by your internal R&D scheme, or via one of the Research Councils, we can work in partnership through the grant application process, backed by a solid track record of success in attracting funding for novel, adventurous, fundamental research. Senior members of the School also have collaborative experience with industry in enabling innovation and competitiveness through highly successful spin-out companies, and in-house dedicated Research Centres.
Applied R&D: We will work with industry to (where appropriate) form collaborative consortia to respond to specific R&D calls from bodies such as EPSRC, Technology Strategy Board and the EU Framework programmes. We are also experienced in the attraction of funding and the delivery of Knowledge Transfer Partnerships to industry.
Consultancy: We offer technical consultancy services across our entire knowledge base, and welcome enquiries from companies irrespective of size. Our experience includes collaboration with 'One Man' operations, through SMEs to Multinationals.
Doctoral Training: We will work in collaboration with industry to design research programmes for funded PhD students, either individually, or as part of an integrated R&D programme
