Research, Innovation and Enterprise

Welcome to the Department of Research, Innovation and Enterprise at Glasgow Caledonian University

The Research, Innovation and Enterprise department, led by Director of Research, Innovation and Enterprise Hamish Dingwall, supports Glasgow Caledonian University’s research, consultancy and business development activities.
 
We work closely with academic experts in Glasgow Caledonian University’s schools and Research Institutes to help develop applied research and business partnerships.

Our departmental team brings people who are dedicated to supporting University staff in their own research, innovation and enterprise endeavours together with our externally facing business engagement brand - the Applied Knowledge Exchange.

Through collaboration with experts at Glasgow Caledonian University, the RIE team provides corporate, public and third sector organisations with tailored education programmes, solves business programmes through consultancy and research and supports sustainable community business practices through social innovation.

We aim to help our academic colleagues understand the University processes and forms for commercial and research activity and to make the most of their skills with RIE seminars.

Through the Applied Knowledge Exchange, we proactively promote the University to businesses and public sector organisations and match up your skills with the business challenge presented to us. We can offer strategic business development support, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs), consultancy and research partnerships.
