Industry and external partnerships
At Science Innovation Hub, we assist to develop industrial partnerships for enhanced funding and investment in scientific research and innovation.
The Faculty of Science is committed to building strong and successful industry-academic partnerships and Research and Development (R&D) collaborations for our researchers and corporate and external partners.
We offer expert guidance to researchers and corporate and external partners to set up collaborations for success and maximize the value for both sides.
For inquiries on developing and enhancing industry-academic partnerships and collaborative R&D, and for building successful industry-academic funding proposals, please contact Christa Kruck, business development officer at Christa.Kruck@umanitoba.ca.
