Most organisations will have a network of contacts and knowledge of
potential consortium partners. However, in the increasingly specialised age
of industrial and academic knowledge, these may not always be
comprehensive, and you may be seeking to obtain an independent
evaluation of the skills and capabilities of organisations outside of your
immediate contacts sphere.
In addition, there is increasing sensitivity to contacts between technical staff
of competitor or near competitor companies, which can inhibit the
identification of mutually beneficial, non-competitive, areas of collaboration.
Working with intermediary organisations we can help you create a
consortium to:
-
identify areas of collaborative research
-
build proposals to bid for UK and European funds (See
Research Grants)
