tWorkingogether
Working with a large world-leading university such as Edinburgh is much easier than it sounds. Through Edinburgh Research and Innovation, the University offers many ways for business and industry to work with us, each designed to meet your particular needs.
1 Collaborative research
If your company has a technical challenge, a market opportunity or a need to access expertise from outside your established area of expertise, the University offers effective solutions through collaborative research programmes. Engaging our researchers is a cost-effective option for building an in-house capability and creating knowledge and intellectual property. We undertake collaborative research projects with industrial partners across a wide range of markets, providing them with innovative solutions and opportunities to make a step change in their business.
2 Industrial studentships
Studentships provide the perfect opportunity for you to engage collaboratively with the University’s academics. The three to four-
32
year programme engages a student to work in a research area of strategic interest for our clients. Studentships are an effective route to innovation, offering a cost efficient means to tackle longer-term opportunities and problems; providing access to state-of- the-art facilities and academic experts at the forefront of their field.
3 Technology licensing
Through licensing new technology from the University, you can access novel intellectual property arising from our world-leading research. The University has demonstrated the international stature of its intellectual property, with major scientific advances, inventions and innovations, and is commercialising these world-changing discoveries through partnerships with industry around the globe.
4 Consultancy services
We offer a comprehensive consultancy service, enabling our clients to solve problems, implement change and validate processes and new products. With more than 1,600 academic experts in a wide range of disciplines, the University has
a wealth of internationally renowned high-calibre consultants. We provide a substantive expert opinion consultancy service to our industrial clients, from small and medium-sized companies to multinational organisations. Your company may wish to engage an academic expert who will use their knowledge to assess a problem and recommend a course of action. As turnaround time is usually critical, we base our services around a simple contract and an agreed daily rate.
5 Access to facilities and services
The University of Edinburgh has some of the most sophisticated analytical testing facilities and equipment in the world. These facilities deliver a range of testing, validation and problem-solving consultancy services for our clients. This includes proof-of-principle testing of new/ emerging technologies, laboratory-based testing and analysis, as well as supporting experimental/prototype design and development work.
