Work With Us
Industry & Innovation
Driving innovation in sustainable chemical technologies through close industry collaboration has been a defining feature of the CSCT since its establishment in 2008.
Supported by a broad network of industrial partners and innovation programmes including the Sustainable Technologies Business Acceleration Hub (STBAH) and the West of England Sustainable Technology Scale-Up Programme, the CSCT has built strong connections across industry, from start-ups to multinational corporations, enabling effective knowledge exchange and accelerating innovation.
Industry scientists and engineers bring complementary perspectives on research and development shaped by the demands and practicalities of delivering viable products and processes. Their input plays an important role in strengthening research direction and impact. Therefore, collaboration with industrial partners through joint research projects, PhD supervision, and visiting roles is integral to CSCT activity, ensuring that our PhD students develop the skills and experiences necessary to work effectively across industry and academia .
