konfer is innovation brokerage at your fingertips.
It opens up research, researchers and services in UK universities and research institutions, and for academics, it is a way to find impact partners.
The two primary ways to use konfer:
Find or post collaboration opportunities
UK and international organisations use konfer to find partners for their collaboration opportunities. You can help solve their problems, by connecting to their opportunity. Or you can post your own collaboration opportunity.
Find resources
Search for what you want – an expert, a research paper, a piece of equipment, funding or business-university collaboration opportunities. konfer captures and categorises these and more, providing a unique means to search for and discover innovation opportunities across the UK.
You can make connection requests directly to experts from konfer. If that contact, or the institution, wants to make the connection then you’re off!
konfer is developed operated and managed by the National Centre of Universities and Business (NCUB) in partnership with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and is free to use.
