STOR-i is unique in the strength of its partnerships across industry, academia, and the charitable sector, matched with its high-quality research methodology. We achieve this by working with leading organisations that recognise and support the need for highly skilled researchers, and create long-term partnerships with mutually beneficial results.

These partnerships not only enhance the quality and relevance of our research but also create unique opportunities to learn, collaborate, and contribute to meaningful projects.

For our students, these collaborations offer invaluable opportunities to engage with experts beyond academia and develop the broad skills needed to become highly employable graduates, equipped for rapid career progression and success.

Our industrial partners are key to STOR-i’s mission and the centre’s continued success. These partnerships help to ensure that our research and its applications remain relevant to real-world challenges, by providing PhD students with the chance to contribute to cutting-edge projects. In practice, this can be opportunities such as working with real-world data, potential internships, and collaborations that enhance employability and career readiness, which can be mutually beneficial for our partners.

Working with STOR-i’s industry partners can:

  • Offer opportunities to work on real projects and industry-relevant problems.
  • Provide internships, placements, and direct engagement with industry experts.
  • Support the development of practical skills and professional networks for future careers.
