Research development: turning knowledge into revenue
Just as AUT University’s study programmes are shaped by industry and community needs, so too is the development of our research.
We have 2 types of research development:
- Sale or licensing of AUT’s research findings and outputs
- AUT researchers providing research consultancy
The units charged with this function are the:
UNIVERSITY RESEARCH OFFICE
Links the university’s research with business and industry. It supports the transfer of research and technology through:
- Contract research
- Consultancy services
- Postgraduate Research
(Visit the ‘Study Areas’ section of this website for information on AUT’s postgraduate research degrees)
Opportunities to partner AUT in research
Research partnerships are symbiotic; they achieve a greater combined outcome than if the parties tackle separately the research problem or opportunity.
Contact the University Research Office if you are interested in getting involved in our research development.
