Whether it’s enabling access to our research, nurturing talent or informing policy, we will work with you to build a strategy for success.
Research and knowledge exchange
The University of Manchester’s groundbreaking research takes place across our Faculties and Institutes - often in multidisciplinary collaborative groups. Access to our research can give your organisation a new vantage point and new insights. We can help you leverage new technology or invest in the next game-changing invention.
Academically, we are recognised for our research power, ranked third in the UK in the last Research Assessment Exercise and 40th in the world. Last year we were awarded £188 million in research grants and contracts.
Our comprehensive range of flexible knowledge exchange mechanisms enable you to work with leading academics and researchers from across the University. You can expect to benefit from an improvement in your products and processes, making your organisation more competitive and profitable. Our knowledge exchange experts will assist you with applying for funding and planning and evaluating your project.
Commercialisation of our intellectual property (IP) allows your business to reap the benefits of innovations emanating from our world-class research. The University's technology transfer office, UMIP, attracts entrepreneurs, investors and corporate venture partners to our campus and Innovation Centre, bringing our inventions and software into the commercial world through licensing and spin-out companies.
