Work with us

If you share our vision, we warmly welcome opportunities for partnership with industry, academic institutions, funding bodies, policy-making organisations and individual and institutional donors.

How can you work with us?

Collaborative R&D

Partner with us on funding proposals - we have significant experience of applying for collaborative funding from a variety of organisations, and of partnering with companies, public bodies and charities.

Contract research

Directly fund one or more researchers to investigate a cutting edge issue. You can define the project with us, and benefit from an experienced team with a track record in multiple sectors. 

Consultancy

Commission our experts to provide advice on your trickiest questions, or to carry out some short-term work on cutting-edge topics.

Conveynor

ISA provides neutral ground for sector-wide conversations that need to happen, but that no single organisation can lead. We bring the right people together to shape standards, share intelligence, and build collective understanding.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP)

Apply for UK Government support to implement our research into your business. This funding allows you to employ a KTP associate, with significant input from our academics to support the development of your products or service.

Education and Training

• CPD - tailored training, bringing our expertise to your business.
• Sponsor a PhD - help us to define a PhD topic, and fund a 3 or 4 year research project. We can recruit the PhD researcher, or they could come from your team, if they have the right skills.
