Opportunities to work with Information Technology researchers

The collaborative research option

If you require assistance with a specific research opportunity, contact us. You will find that collaborative industry funded research projects involving partnerships between Monash, government, business and community organisations are a cost effective way of securing a competitive advantage or undertaking vital research to ensure the innovative and effective use of IT. Industry-funded projects come in all sizes and can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

A useful and popular approach is to sponsor a postgraduate research student to work on your research problem. Projects can range from development of prototype software and hardware, to analysis of organisational structure, to the development of archival systems for Indigenous communities; and range from a six-month Honours project to a three year PhD project. As well as cost-effective research, you will also have access to Monash's extensive research expertise.

Success with government funded initiatives

Collaborating with Monash University on research projects means that you will benefit from the considerable funding that the Australian government provides for joint industry/university research. Schemes include the Australian Research Council (ARC) linkage project grants and Co-operative Research Centres.

Information Technology at Monash University has a very impressive and successful track record with government funded initiatives - working with us allows you to leverage on our success.

Venture capital, incubation and partnerships

Research and development drives growth in all areas of industry, including Information Technology. Companies that are able to access marketable R & D and exploit it quickly gain a competitive advantage in global business.

With a high international profile in producing ground breaking research, Monash University has initiated and lead some remarkable discoveries and, in turn, some successful start-up companies. We are interested in working with any organisations that would like to collaborate with us in helping to commercialise our research.

Consulting

Appropriate Faculty of Information Technology staff act as paid consultants to industry and government organisations, advising on possible strategies and technical solutions. Typically, staff provide up to one day of consulting per week and are paid a competitive hourly rate.
