Centre for Technology Management

Collaborative research

CTM's core research areas focus on the issues of interest to technology intensive businesses of all sizes and operating in all sectors. In consequence, the majority of research projects are carried out with industrial collaborators. This provides a real world context for the research, and helps to ensure the practical applicability of the results. There are opportunities for companies to engage at a wide variety of levels, from providing case studies in support of PhD research, to major collaboration on Research Council funded projects. In this situation companies gain early access to emerging results, learn from the experience of other project collaborators and frequently make funding or in-kind contributions to the project budget.
