The partners of Midlands Innovation have focused their collaboration in a number of areas where they have complementary expertise, which when combined we believe can make a real impact. Our programmes fall into two main categories:

  • Thematic programmes – where we bring together our collective research strengths to tackle a challenge or challenges in an area

  • Structural – where we bring together staff from across institutions to collaborate on issues underpinning how universities deliver and exploit their research

Our thematic programmes fall into the following categories:

  • Energy
  • Health
  • Transport

Our major structural collaborations are focused on:

  • Enterprise
  • Technicians

Strategic Partnerships

More than just a project, these are long-term, structured collaborations that build on our collective and complementary capabilities in areas of strategic regional and national importance.

Working in partnership, these programmes run for a number of years and exploit what is best within our institutions enabling us to deliver at a scale that we couldn’t reach as individual universities. They help our institutions to learn from each other through the sharing of best-practice and create new growth opportunities within and between our institutions, with regional and national government, and in close partnership with business, industry and communities across the region and around the world.
