Fusion of Research and Thought

Partner

Partner with FRT

FRT is unaffiliated by design, which makes it straightforward to work with. Partners keep their own programs, their own branding and their own relationships elsewhere. No agreement with FRT asks you to give any of that up.

  • ET — Engineering & Technology
  • SC — Science
  • HS — Health Sciences
  • SH — Social Sciences & Humanities
  • EF — Emerging Fields

Four kinds of partnership

Academic

Universities and departments run joint events with FRT and share research capacity instead of building a second version of it.

  • Jointly hosted conferences and symposiums
  • Co-supervised student research
  • Speaker and lecturer exchange
  • Shared publication and presentation venues

Industry

Companies work with researchers on applied problems, and meet early-career talent well before the graduation rush.

  • Event and program sponsorship
  • Applied research collaboration on a stated problem
  • Internship and fellowship pipelines
  • Practitioner-led workshops and lectures

Institutional

Sister research organizations, professional bodies and learned societies put recognition and reciprocity in writing.

  • Memoranda of understanding
  • Reciprocal participation in each other's programs
  • Joint calls for papers
  • Shared review pools

Government and policy

Public agencies commission and collaborate on the evidence base behind a policy decision.

  • Evidence reviews for policy development
  • Joint public-interest research programs
  • Capacity-building for public-sector researchers
  • Consultation on research and innovation strategy

Start a conversation

Tell the secretariat what you have in mind. A few sentences is enough to begin with — the first reply comes from a person, and a proposal document can wait until there is something to propose.

For example: Head of Department, R&D Lead, Programme Officer.

A few sentences is plenty at this stage.
