Getting connected
The Industry Alliance staff can work with you to turn a current problem into your next opportunity, and . We can find a pathway to your next solution. Contact us to let us know how you are affected by a major challenge.

Student projects
Our third year undergraduate students, Honours students,
Master students and PhD students undertake 3 month, 1 month, 1 year and
3 year projects directed to industry problems. Let them help you.
Consultancy
Our experts can be consulted to help you identify
problems, investigate efficiencies or tackle specific issues off site or on
site where they have access to UniSA state of the art facilities. Our
Capability Clusters and our
Directory of
Research Expertise can help you identify the capabilities that meet your
needs.
Contract research and development
Applied research is not as remote as you might think; it
can be accessed to tackle any problem or question that requires a new
solution. Through contract research and development we can respond rapidly
to your needs and assemble the team with the right blend of expertise to
find an innovative solution. Our Capability Clusters,
Laboratory Showcase and our
Directory of
Research Expertise can help you identify the capabilities that meet your
needs.
Industry-University linkage research
Applied research is not as remote as you might think; it
can be accessed to tackle any problem or question that requires a new
solution. The Australian Research Council provides competitive funding for
University research that tackles an industry problem or challenge, where the
research is co-funded by an industry partner. The scheme provides a real
opportunity for innovation; by assembling multidisciplinary and
collaborative teams from across university and industry sectors and
providing funding to reduce the risk of unknowns.
Applications are received bi-annually (in April and November) through partner Universities. Our Capability Clusters, Laboratory Showcase and our Directory of Research Expertise can help you identify the capabilities that meet your needs.
Centres of research excellence, Cooperative Research
Centres and other Industry-University collaborations
We want to listen to your needs, understand the complexity
of the challenge and be actively involved in rising to the challenge.
Sometimes the challenge starts from understanding and articulating the
problem itself. We can assemble a cluster of experts, within the University
and outside of the University, with the right combination of knowledge and
expertise to pose the right questions.
Our Strategic Research Partnerships seek to understand these questions, from these clusters UniSA has grown Cooperative Research Centres, Sponsored Research Centres (sponsored research involves basic or strategic research not usually concerned with commercial outcomes), and Research Centres of Excellence.
