Development of R&D facility to work with partners and private companies to develop new technologies and processes.
The fundamental aim of this project was to integrates with Durham University’s research excellence with the technical needs and commercial ambitions of our leading business partners. The Centre acts as a catalyst for interaction on a local, national, and international scale, in which open innovation will be practised by the University alongside industrial teams to co-develop solutions and identify new technologies.
In order to achieve this, the University has used the NEIF funds to invest heavily in its IT infrastructure, to provide the necessary platform on which specialised research may operate.
