91ɬÂþ-University of Texas at Austin
The partnership with the University of Texas at Austin is important for 91ɬÂþ as a city and the University.
During a joint visit by the University, 91ɬÂþ City Council, and the Greater 91ɬÂþ Mayor, a strategic partnership was signed between the universities, alongside a ‘Sister Cities’ agreement between Austin and 91ɬÂþ.
The partnership between the universities builds upon joint research projects already in progress, with a view to expanding and fostering new initiatives.
91ɬÂþ-Austin research seed fund
The University of 91ɬÂþ (UoM) and The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) are collaborating on a new research seed fund initiative to support international research collaboration between the two institutions, to support world-leading research and to leverage international research funding in the future.
The purpose of the fund is to initiate or develop new research partnerships. Funds will be awarded to projects which encourage the building of networks of researchers and have clearly defined plans for future funding.
Both institutions are powerhouses of innovative research and contribute a great deal to their regional economies – through commercialising start-ups and spinouts and wider business support. Combining their expertise can only lead to significant economic and educational benefits for both places.
