Impact, stakeholder management and collaboration

Turning research into real-world impact is a collaborative process. We help you find the right partners, shape collaborations and manage the formalities.  

Finding the right partners

Almost every research field has stakeholders who can benefit from your knowledge: from companies, industry partners to policymakers, NGOs or professional practitioners. Whatever your discipline, applying your research often means building strong partnerships. VU IXA-GO helps you connect with the right partners and build effective partnerships.

Your own network is a natural starting point. Our business and impact developers can expand it with contacts from our broad public and private sector network. We help you identify partners whose expertise, facilities or market position fit your research needs.

Let’s talk.

Agreements and negotiations

Every collaboration starts with a solid agreement. We help you draft and negotiate contracts, such as public-private partnership agreements or arrangements on the use of research results.

When commercial interests are involved, we support you in preparing discussions and representing your interests at the negotiation table. 

Please contact VU IXA-GO for all your questions!

We provide support in every aspect of creating impact.
