Work with us
We work as a collaborative hub, bringing together academia, industry and government to drive innovation in communications systems.
Collaborations
Connectivity brings new opportunities for a more secure, resilient and fairer world, but complex systems also create challenges.
Our mission is to solve these challenges and ensure innovations move from the lab to the real world.
Collaboration helps us achieve that goal, giving us access to expertise, testing environments and pathways to commercialisation that accelerate impact.
So how can we work together?
Academia
We work with researchers and institutions across the UK and the world to advance research and development.
Collaboration across projects acts as a:
- catalyst for innovation
- magnet for knowledge exchange and skills training
- forum for tackling issues such as inclusion, sustainability and trust.
Together, we’re shaping telecoms systems that change the world responsibly.
Industry
We have a strong track record of working with industry through long-term projects and large-scale experimentation platforms like JOINER.
We create collaborative environments that turn innovation into implementation.
By combining academic research with real-world deployment expertise, we can:
- move faster
- test more broadly
- design solutions that scale.
Whether you’re a start-up, SME or industry leader, we’ll work with you to make it happen.
Policy makers
We work closely with government and regulatory bodies on the standards and policies that will deliver the next generation of communications infrastructure.
Our research informs decisions on:
- overall digital strategy
- government priorities
- responsible adoption of emerging technologies.
This focus shows our commitment to a future where innovations have real-world impact and public value.
