We collaborate with a robust and diverse network of research, commercialisation and teaching partners around the world.
Our alliances span research institutions, industry groups, government bodies and policy-makers, as well as community organisations and businesses.
We work together on:
- contract research and research collaborations
- licensing agreements and patents
- start-up and spin-out companies
- student engagement.
By fostering our connections, we link our fundamental research to applied outcomes that impact on and improve everyday life across a range of agricultural and industrial settings.
Our engagement partners also help us to enrich our students' experiences through the creation of scholarships and industry placement programs.
