As part of this government-funded initiative, GWR will provide matching funds for 130 new PhD-level research programmes to be undertaken in higher education institutions, in partnership with south-west businesses. The projects will be of high added value to both the business partner and the south-west regional economy.

If you want to meet your business and customers’ needs through focused, bespoke collaboration with a team of world-class academics, Great Western Research can provide you with the contacts, advice, support and financial backing to achieve this.  The initiative will help you focus on developing new products, provide support on a project of strategic importance to your business, and increase your efficiency and profitability.

Detailed information on the GWR initiative and the individual research themes can be found on the website: www.greatwesternresearch.ac.uk or contact Jess Warburton on 01392 263456.
