• researchers from all disciplines find new collaborators and ensure that their work has a real world impact 
• leading organisations from all sectors access the expertise at UCL and develop long-term strategic partnerships 

We will: 

• explore new ways of working, reshaping the way people create, collaborate and innovate
• help you build new and long-term partnerships
• share our research, support new collaborative research, and co-design knowledge exchange initiatives
• develop practical toolkits, education programmes and communities of practice
