Partner Identification Services
In response to the increased interest in global institutional collaboration, QS Intelligence Unit is pleased to offer
Partner Identification Services. This will provide a solid foundation for establishing partnerships with competitive
institutions worldwide, by providing recommendations tailored to the client’s own strategy in a particular region.
The service can identify universities for research collaboration, mobility congruence, and institutional partnerships.
This bespoke project will start by identifying potential partnership opportunities in a targeted region, according
to general and specific prerequisites established with the client. Further to selecting the appropriate partner
institutions in the region, the project will provide key contacts in the selected universities and will offer commercial
opportunities for the client to widen its presence in a strategic region.
