Research Networking

Collaboration Opportunities

Partners who complement your strengths, a clear agreement on who does what, and a collaboration that produces published work rather than good intentions.

Overview

What this service covers

Some research cannot be done alone: a study across several institutions, a multi-disciplinary paper, an edited volume that needs twelve contributors, or a project that needs a statistician alongside a domain expert. Finding the right partners — and structuring the collaboration so it actually delivers — is a skill in itself.

For scholars

We match you with collaborators for joint papers, multi-site data collection, comparative studies and cross-disciplinary work, and help you agree on roles, authorship order and timelines at the outset.

For institutions

We partner with universities and colleges on research projects, faculty development, student research programmes and joint conferences, formalised through MoUs where required.

Edited volumes

We invite scholars to contribute to edited volumes and book series published through TRB Academic Press, with transparent review and clear authorship terms.

Industry partners

We connect academic researchers with industry and practitioner partners for applied studies, data access and case-based research.

Practical setup

We advise on the practical side of collaboration — data-sharing agreements, ethics approvals across institutions, and managing contributions from several authors.
