A research consortium brings together multiple partners to work on a shared goal. For researchers, a consortium with universities, companies, governments, or NGOs offers many benefits.
Joining or creating a consortium grants access to new expertise, data, and facilities, larger funding opportunities, stronger societal impact, and the chance to explore new research questions.
How to start a consortium
Starting a consortium can be complex, but VU IXA-GO supports you at every step. We help you:
- Find the right partners
- Connect you to networks and match-making events
- Guide you in creating a clear proposition and shared goals
Your own network is a good starting point, and VU IXA-GO’s programme managers and business developers can help you expand it by connecting you to their wide network in both the public and private sector.
