Ways to work with us

Bringing perspectives and ideas together makes innovation more alive, more powerful and more valuable. So, too, collaboration makes change: at the collision of ideas something new is created.   

The well-worn myth that universities don’t work well with industry and government is long gone. We find that very often, our industry partners share the same challenges, the same aspirations and the same drive to develop the next generation of researchers and innovators, which is why we offer programs that bring students into your organisation or business to gain invaluable practical knowledge and solve the problems you face. 

But our first task is always to understand what your needs are. 

Understanding what you need is the first step to designing an approach to research collaboration. We welcome you to open the conversation with one of our friendly Business Development Managers. 

Paradigm-changing research doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Great ideas are essential, but it’s also about connection: with the ANU community and the people in it dedicated to bettering our world through research. It’s about being where it all happens, where the very walls hum with innovation and possibility. 

This is where the Shine-Dalgarno sequence was developed, where our researchers are working with Indigenous communities to bring Old People home and where our partners are innovating to deliver impact like climate repair through infinite recycling. And these are just a couple of examples among thousands of incredible research projects taking place.

There are opportunities for our partners to co-locate with us on our stunning Acton, ACT campus. Access to world-class facilities and equipment are clear benefit of co-location, but it is also about undertaking your R&D within a community of researchers and students who are tackling some of the world’s big challenges. 

Talk to one of our team about co-location at ANU.
