Non-Academic Partners
Engaging with Non-Academic Partners
Research in Practice
Research in Practice (RiP) provides flexibility to compliment and contribute to research, providing a fruitful opportunity for knowledge exchange and personal and professional development.
An essential element of RiP is the Development Needs Analysis (DNA), which is fundamental to achieving flexible and responsive doctoral training and a more bespoke student experience to allow for interests and career options to be fully explored.
Experts across industry, business and civil society contribute towards Research in Practice training, providing students with unique opportunities to establish strong networks with organisations.
