Do you want to carry out a project but lack the support to get it done? The Business Partnerships Group (GPA) of the University of Sherbrooke is the key resource for research and development for Quebec businesses.
Our goal is simple: through university research, we aim to stimulate innovation in society, for the benefit of all. More specifically, we target your need to realize your idea, your project. Collaborating with researchers from the University of Sherbrooke is THE solution!
Innovation at its best
The partnership process begins with a meeting with an advisor. They will help you identify your various needs and your material, human, and financial resources: we save you the effort of evaluating your resources.
The GPA team knows university expertise inside out and will find the one necessary to carry out your project. After assessing the availability of research resources, a match with an expert in the desired field will be formalized. Everything will be put in place so that your project can move forward.
High-quality specialized support
The GPA's role during the process: to support both stakeholders of the project throughout the process, notably through administrative stages. Indeed, proactive follow-up will be offered to ensure the smooth running and success of your project.
Regarding financing, partnership research is often affordable. However, to come to fruition, some initiatives require greater investments. Don't worry, several avenues exist, and the GPA is here to facilitate the process of obtaining funding.
