How to become a partner or collaborator

Becoming a partner of FLB is a collaborative and tailored process.

1. We start by understanding your organisation’s goals, challenges and opportunities for innovation.
2. We identify areas of alignment with our research strengths and explore potential models of engagement. These may include commissioned research, collaborative grant applications, co-supervision of HDR candidates, internships or participation in advisory groups.

Partnerships can be initiated through direct contact with our Associate Dean (Research and Enterprise) or relevant academic leads, who will guide you through the process. Together, we will scope the project or engagement, develop a clear agreement and ensure the partnership is designed to deliver impact for both your organisation and the broader community.

At FLB, we believe that meaningful research partnerships create shared value, through advancing knowledge, influencing policy and practice, and contributing to a more just, sustainable and flourishing society.
