<strong>Research</strong> <strong>and</strong> Business Development with Industry<br />
With the <strong>Department</strong>’s internationally distinguished record in<br />
<strong>Materials</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Metallurgy</strong>, it is no surprise that we work<br />
with some <strong>of</strong> the best materials companies in the world, helping<br />
them to further their underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> their materials technology<br />
<strong>and</strong> develop leading-edge products. We have also created a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> successful spin-out companies turning inventions <strong>and</strong><br />
discoveries into commercial reality.<br />
We would like to hear from companies who would like to explore<br />
opportunities to support our research. We are happy to host<br />
tailored visits to the department during which we can explore the<br />
many priorities for fruitful interaction, including:<br />
<strong>Research</strong> Collaborations<br />
Sponsorship <strong>of</strong> a research project close to a company’s technical<br />
interests <strong>and</strong> under the direction <strong>of</strong> a particular academic can<br />
bring immense benefit to a company. The sponsorship includes<br />
the support <strong>of</strong> highly motivated <strong>and</strong> excellent postgraduate<br />
researchers for periods <strong>of</strong> 2–5 years.<br />
Studentships<br />
The <strong>Department</strong> is always pleased to hear from companies who<br />
will provide support for students on specific projects.<br />
Tailored courses / Brainstorming sessions<br />
Our strength as a department includes our quality <strong>of</strong> teaching,<br />
as well as our research, <strong>and</strong> we can design specific short<br />
courses, or seminar days to suit a company’s specific needs or<br />
arrange for a group <strong>of</strong> academics to spend time with your people<br />
brainstorming around a specific theme.<br />
Consultancy<br />
Have you a specific problem which you need to solve? Please<br />
enquire <strong>and</strong> we will help you find a suitable consultant to help you<br />
solve your problem. We also <strong>of</strong>fer a range <strong>of</strong> analytical services<br />
including X-ray, polymer / thermal characterization, TEM <strong>and</strong><br />
SEM microscopy <strong>and</strong> mechanical testing.<br />
Corporate University Technology Centres (UTCs)<br />
The <strong>Department</strong> has a number <strong>of</strong> these industrially funded<br />
research centres, typically staffed by 6 to 25 researchers. These<br />
allow companies to stimulate interactive research within the<br />
technical <strong>and</strong> collaborative environment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong>. From<br />
these centres it is possible for companies to harness excellent<br />
research facilities for their own strategic research <strong>and</strong> to leverage<br />
public funding in a specific area <strong>of</strong> research.<br />
