We will look at collaborative research as academic research undertaken in partnership with other universities or research organisations, with business, with government and/or with the third sector (e.g. charities). How collaborative training enables researchers to develop the relevant skills to undertake excellent research, work effectively in business (and/or the government or other important sectors), and exploit the outcomes of their research.  And people and information exchange which increases levels of university-business interaction; exchange of researchers between academia and industry to stimulate partnerships between business and researchers; brokering and networking activities.
