In our experience the biggest barrier to a successful Linkage or Partnership grant is not a good project – its good partners. A major barrier to getting good partners is fear – fear of having ideas on display that others might take apart. Fear that the work does not have industry relevance. Being fearful is no longer an option. Research cannot be sustained with lotto like chances of funding. Research can and should involve accessing industry partners who are looking for you.

LinkedIn is a powerful tool to be able to access industry funding.

There are people out there who want to work with you.

You just need to make it easy.

LinkedIn and the need to manage your online personal brand are creating lots of questions in universities and industry. The challenge is knowing what to do with it and what to say to people.

Many see an opportunity for LinkedIn but are not sure how to maximise it. They have seen people try and fail with other social media such as twitter and facebook and now worry about LinkedIn. However, there are massive opportunities – particularly with the National Innovation and Science Agenda – to work with industry for mutual benefit, not to mention increasing funding imperatives to find industry partners.

Maximise the opportunities for funding and collaboration and make translation easy.

Make a difference and have your research make the impact on the world.
