Benefits of collaborative research: KU researchers

Source for new ideas
The research needs of industry are often complementary to the research interests of universities. Company collaboration provides KU researchers with new perspectives on applied and basic research.

Advancing the field of research
"Necessity is the mother of invention," and many breakthrough inventions have come about through companies performing R&D to deliver new products and services that fulfill unmet consumer needs.

Additional research resources
In most cases, company-funded research complements government-funded research. This provides KU researchers with a broader base of resources to support graduate students, labs, and facilities.
