How to get involved

Host a Site Visit
Showcase your facilities, technologies, and real world challenges. Inspire students while gaining fresh perspectives on your operations.

Offer Student Placements
Support a PhD student through hands on experience in your organisation. Placements help students understand industry needs while contributing valuable skills and insights to your team.

Deliver a Guest Lecture or Masterclass
Share your expertise through talks, seminars, or workshops. Help students understand current industry trends, tools, and challenges.

Provide Case Studies, Data, or Access to Facilities
Enable students to work on authentic problems and accelerate research that benefits your organisation.

Become a Research Sponsor
Sponsoring a PhD project is a highly cost-effective way to drive relevant leading-edge research and innovation that your organisation is unable to undertake in-house due to factors such as expertise, equipment or funding. Work with us to define a research challenge that benefits your organisation and contributes to academic advancement.
