£8.9M Boost for North East University Research
A new Durham-led project to strengthen collaboration between universities and businesses and others to drive growth and create jobs in North East England has received major funding from the UK Government.
North East England’s universities have a shared drive to ensure academic research benefits local communities, through creating new businesses and new and better jobs. The project will be a game-changer for research commercialisation, bringing in more businesses, more public sector bodies, and more academic researchers in finding innovative, profitable solutions to pressing challenges.
