Research and Innovation
We are a world leader in scientific research - but we don't keep it to ourselves. Our work has real-world impact, and we have a great track record of translating good ideas into profitable companies. We are keen to share our expertise and resources with our partners.
This video shows how our scientists have worked with partners to create novel solutions to some unique challenges.
Work with us
We can help with:
- Supporting access to instruments and facilities for academics and external partners
- Linking up businesses with students for summer projects
- Navigating commercial contracts (MoUs, NDAs, studentships, translational research activities and IP)
- Advice for spin-outs and start-ups.
Supporting entrepreneurship
We have close links with Science Creates – a deep tech incubator – where many researchers from the University of Bristol have gone on to start innovative companies.
The University is also a key partner, alongside Bristol City Council and the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), in the Engine Shed – a hub where business, entrepreneurs, academics and social innovators collaborate.
Research with real-world impact
We have local, national and global partnerships with a wide range of industries and organisations, enabling our researchers to apply their knowledge to real-world problems and make a genuine difference to people's lives and livelihoods.
