School of Chemistry Industrial Services team
We have ongoing collaborations with a range of companies, from large multinationals to small start-ups, and recognise the requirements of each partner and each project are different.
We can help to identify the most appropriate funding mechanism, and will discuss issues such as project management, reporting and intellectual property at the outset of any project.
