Collaboration between academia and industry is essential for driving innovation, economic growth and sustainable solutions to global issues. As industry needs evolve, institutions must ensure that resources across their research ecosystem – from faculty expertise to specialised equipment – are easily discoverable and accessible to potential funders, partners and collabo-rators. However, identifying partners with the same goals, visions and priorities can be a com-plex process.

Advanced research information management systems and centralised profiling tools can help institutions position themselves as valuable partners in innovation by maximising the visibility and utility of research assets and outputs. This webinar, held in partnership between Times Higher Education and Digital Science, will feature a panel of experts who will discuss how these tools help institutions improve the management, accessibility and dissemination of research data to foster mutually beneficial collaborations. It will also include the key findings from Catalyzing Collaboration: How Research Information Management Systems Drive Academic-Industry Partnerships.

Topics for discussion will include:

• The benefits of academic-industry partnerships in research and the challenges in identifying the right partners

• Fostering strategic partnerships and resource-sharing to train researchers to meet evolving industry standards

• Strategies for maximising the visibility and utility of research assets and outputs

• How research management tools help streamline management, accessibility and dissemination of research data to facilitate technology transfer

• Measuring the impact of academic-industry collaborations in research
