Growing Research Collaboration Through External University Partnerships

Last updated January 9, 2019

Learn how to establish sustainable external partnerships to boost your institution’s research exposure and visibility.

Overview

Today, there is increasing pressure on institutions to engage in research, garner more funding, and contribute to innovation and economic development.

For those trying to take their research activity off the ground, establishing an external university partnership can be just the right strategic step to boost growth and enhance the visibility of their institution’s research initiatives. In addition to improving the student experience, research partnerships can also allow universities to be leaders as well as collaborators in their own areas of expertise.

Join us and our experienced speaker, Dr. Geoff Payne, for this online training where we will discuss the various types of external partnerships and how you can build them successfully from the ground up. Dr. Payne will also present some case studies, both local and international, and the lessons learnt from each.

  • Those who are trying to set up partnerships for the first time and are not familiar with best practices
