Business Development

The Business Development Team builds relationships between researchers, industry, government and communities so research can have real-world impact. This can include finding the right researchers to respond to requests from industry and government, supporting the development of research proposals, and liaising with bodies such as international agencies and philanthropic organisations.

We offer workshops on a range of topics and can put you in touch with people such as research advisors and proposal writers. We also help researchers design and host workshops or discussions with government, industry or community partners.
