Through this network, academics have the chance to collaboratively work with companies to bring those ideas to market through fully-funded, high-impact projects. <br/> <br/> Southampton is one of five SPRINT Universities, all with significant space expertise. </p> <p> Working with SPRINT can help research groups meet and exceed their targets for the Research Excellence Framework (REF) and Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF).
