Innovation, Sponsored Research and Public Engagement
The Innovation, Sponsored Research and Public Engagement Area (ISRPE) drives the interface between research excellence, societal impact, and institutional partnerships.
We support and promote initiatives that harness the full potential of our research community—connecting ideas with funding opportunities, translating knowledge into innovation, and fostering meaningful engagement with public and private stakeholders. Our work encompasses:
· Innovation: Facilitating the transformation of research outcomes into solutions through entrepreneurship, knowledge and technology transfer, intellectual property management, and strategic industry engagement.
· Sponsored Research: Supporting researchers in identifying, securing, and managing external funding—from competitive grants and strategic collaborations to philanthropic contributions.
· Public Engagement: Promoting communication and outreach initiatives that build bridges between research and society, ensuring that our work informs, inspires, and responds to societal needs.
We work across disciplines and sectors, committed to advancing research with purpose, innovation with impact, and engagement that builds trust and shared value.
