Building a research consortium

A research consortium brings together multiple partners to work on a shared goal. For researchers, a consortium with universities, companies, governments, or NGOs offers many benefits. 

About the benefits

Joining or creating a consortium grants access to new expertise, data, and facilities, larger funding opportunities, stronger societal impact, and the chance to explore new research questions. 

How to start a consortium 

Starting a consortium can be complex, but VU IXA-GO supports you at every step. We help you: 

  • Find the right partners 
  • Connect you to networks and match-making events 
  • Guide you in creating a clear proposition and shared goals 

Your own network is a good starting point, and VU IXA-GO’s programme managers and business developers can help you expand it by connecting you to their wide network in both the public and private sector. Please contact us!

Get in touch!

We’re happy to support you in building your consortium.

Get started in your own network!

In this knowledge clip, we will talk about how to map out a network, how to approach people and how to prepare.

Networking is a mutually beneficial interaction that involves exchanging ideas and information between individuals who are connected by a common interest, goal, industry, or profession. To create societal or economical impact networking is crucial.

Watch the video on ixa.nl and learn how to build or expand a network.

Would you like to set up a collaboration?

We'll help you with the right strategy and find the best contact.
