We also invite businesses and the wider community to use our specialist facilities and technology. Our doors are always open.

Inspiring and developing the businesses of tomorrow

We have a strong culture and track record of successful collaboration, with organisations of all shapes and sizes. As an applied university, we use our research and expertise to make positive changes to industry, public services or the wider society.

What are you looking for?

We run a series of part-funded or fully-funded programmes that help businesses benefit from university expertise and technology.

The longest running is the Knowledge Transfer Partnership Scheme (KTP), which can help you address a specific business need by connecting your organisation with one of our academics and a recent graduate.

More recently, we've received funding to help private businesses in the East Midlands (particularly SMEs) with R&D, innovation and growth.

Our research is focused on making a practical, positive difference to people’s lives and this includes helping businesses become more efficient and sustainable. One way you can do this is by adopting digital technologies – see how we're helping all kinds of industries do this.

We have over 500 researchers (staff and students) who are working hard to advance knowledge in some critical fields of enquiry. You can see our full list of research centres and groups.

We partner with businesses on many of our research projects, sometimes through the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Scheme, which is part-funded.

If you have an idea for some research, please contact the Business team who can help you find the right person to talk to.

We have specialist equipment and experts for clinical services and sports perfomance. These are available to hire.

The quality of the facilities at the Human Performance Unit were just outstanding…but maybe more importantly it was the expertise of the people…you just can’t buy that. That's gold.
