Whether you are a small business or interested in collaborating on a national or international program, we can problem solve with you. </p> <p>Research collaborations are flexible and largely depend on the specifics of the brief, but options include: </p> <ul> <li>UWA takes the lead, from specifying the research agenda to analysing the results </li> <li>Your organisation sets the research agenda according to your needs and budget </li> <li>The research agenda is determined together and both parties provide an agreed percentage of intellectual input and resources (i.e. staff, funding, materials and facilities) </li> </ul> <p>In research the expectation is that new knowledge, methodologies or inventions will be created. Research partnerships are mutually beneficial as our researchers gain unique insights into the complex challenges facing your organisation and industry. Researchers then publish results in relevant academic journals, with respect to any confidentiality or waiting period agreements with your organisation. </p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/persons/">Find an expert</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.research.uwa.edu.au/">Research at UWA</a> </li> <li><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8ae3e4eefff9fef8f3cafffdeba4efeeffa4ebff">Contact the Office of Industry and Commercial Development</a></li> </ul> <h3>Consulting services</h3> <p>UWA Consult provides an alternative to a research partnership.
