We catalyse new research collaborations across the Midlands Innovation membership, creating research communities for a purpose. We generate new ideas in partnership with regional stakeholders.
Midlands Innovation collaborates with organisations such as national, regional and local government, the NHS, and public and private sector businesses, to generate new ideas and help find solutions to local challenges.
Our place-based initiatives:
Share best practice to strengthen research delivery in the Midlands.
Design research programmes which address our region’s challenges.
Co-create solutions to strengthen the Midlands R&D ecosystem.
Develop new partnerships with regional stakeholders, other regional university groupings and beyond to deliver projects of excellence.
Working with the Midlands Innovation universities, we have broadened research opportunities within behavioural and linguistic research, strengthening our long-standing relationship between AIFL and GCHQ. We have built greater connections to more social science researchers, from sociologists to psychologists and linguists, to help boost research ideas and collaboration opportunities.
