Industry Collaboration

Industry collaborations with Universities are a major source of new innovations. For an individual business, commercial benefits can be obtained from cooperating with Universities on research, but the pathway for cooperation needs to match the needs of the business and the skill-set of researchers. Within the Water Research Centre the particular areas of research excellence are in the fields of Freshwater Ecology, Hydropedology and Catchment Processes, Water Resources, Infrastructure and Modelling and Water Quality and Treatment. Researchers with an interest in water at the University of Adelaide have delivered significant benefits to industry and government through their research, including industrial, environmental and agricultural benefits.

Research with industry can be tailored to meet your needs. By working through the Water Research Centre, you will be put in contact with researchers who will best meet your research needs, both in terms of expertise and ability to deliver to your timeframe.

You are invited to contact the Director to discuss your interests and ideas. The Director of the Water Research Centre will then be able to help match you requirements to researchers within The University of Adelaide, and to other potential partners and co-investors.
