About University of Edinburgh
Open for R&D and collaborations
We are keen to explore potential research collaborations, joint development projects and partnerships across all the critical technology areas; given the University of Edinburgh’s breadth of expertise, research and technologies development and range of potential applications and markets it is difficult to be specific. We are also keen to explore potential opportunities to drive forward transformative solutions which exploit the unique breadth and scale of Edinburgh’s multidisciplinary R&D capability with that in the critical technologies, in particular quantum and semiconductors, to create novel disruptive real-world applications from electronics to medicines and beyond.
