RESEARCH STRATEGY OBJECTIVES
ENHANCE RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS
The RVC’s research successes are built on
effective partnerships, within and among
our three academic departments, and
externally, with a wide range of
collaborators.
Partnerships enable us to expand the range
of our research, share access to important
equipment and facilities, and magnify the
global infl uence of our specialist expertise.
Our research portfolio includes hundreds of
partnerships worldwide, ranging from
collaborations between individual scientists
to institution-wide associations.
Our collaborators include other leading
research universities, companies in the
veterinary and bioscience sectors,
government departments and agencies,
international NGOs, charities, and
professional bodies.

We want to make sure our research
partnerships matter. We will support and
sustain our productive partnerships while
seeking out new ones that build on our
excellence in clinical care and areas of
research strength.
To achieve these aims we will:
 Undertake a review of our institution-
level links, evaluate the extent to which
they actively support our research and
innovation strategy, and explore options
for wider-ranging relationships with
industry
 Identify and work with internationally
leading partners in key areas of
predicted growth, including pandemic
prevention, aging biology, data science
and machine learning, and animal
health innovation
 In response to new regulation and
legislation, put in place training and
support for research and professional
service staff to ensure research
partnerships are administered in an
effi cient and compliant manner
 Use the RVC Research Institute as a
platform for externally promoting RVC’s
capabilities with partners, and for
internally coordinating institution-level
partnerships and funding bids.
