Effective Industry Research Partnership

Abstract

Securing research funding through government-based agencies is getting more and more competitive. One viable alternative is to raise funding through industry collaborations. Beyond funding, there are also other benefits in establishing industry research partnership such as access to player data, or industry experts. However establishing and managing industry collaborations could be a complex process. In this masterclass, we share our collective experiences and lesson learnt from working at the intersection of academic and industry research with the goal to help our colleagues in establishing effective industry research partnership.
