Bridge the gap between theory and practice
New ideas and knowledge drives industrial innovation. By working with both industry and academia we seek to identify, oversee and communicate research in a way that leads to positive change. We focus on projects linked to our core themes of resource efficiency, health and well-being and product sustainability.
