Research & Knowledge Transfer
The University prides itself in having a long standing tradition of industrial partnership and advancement of knowledge. We are here to help industry, commerce and the public sector benefit from the University's research expertise, either through collaboration or the transfer of our knowledge via various initiatives, consultancy, and licensing.
To improve the communication process with external bodies, the University utilises the Innovation and Research Office (IRO) as a single point of contact for the wide range of skills and facilities that are available in our institution. The IRO is responsible for all contractual arrangements and agreements with companies in relation to research and commercial services. All contracts, licence arrangements and non-disclosure agreements are negotiated and issued by IRO.
The IRO is also the central point for the collation of all research activity in the University and is directly involved in returns to funding bodies, research councils and other external organisation. The Office also administers the recruitment, progress monitoring and training of Postgraduate by Research Students.
Whilst we hope that you find the content of this site useful, we welcome the opportunity to discuss in person how the IRO can assist you and your organisation. For further details on any specific matter please contact the IRO Team.
