Promoting Contract Research and other forms of University-Industry Co-operation
NovaUCD is an identifiable point of contact for companies seeking partners for collaborative research and advice on licensing and other commercial opportunities. All research activities involving industrial partners are channelled through NovaUCD.
The development of strategic industrial partnerships is essential for the successful achievement of UCD’s vision to become a leading European research-intensive university. The Belfield Innovation Park, which is at an early development stage, will be located on a 10.3 ha site on the southern edge of the campus. It will provide an attractive and innovative environment for the development of co-operation involving University research, industrial R&D centres, major research and training partnerships and new high-technology ventures. NovaUCD is located at the Centre of the park.
Companies locating on the Park will be undertaking research of the highest international standard in areas where there is significant potential for collaboration with UCD. The Park will attract a cluster of high-quality indigenous and overseas companies to compliment UCD’s strengths in areas such as biomedical, biomolecular and ICT research. Companies will also have access to UCD technologies and to the services of NovaUCD and the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training.
