Partner with us

Why partner with ISF?

ISF offers transdisciplinary research expertise across a range of service areas. When you partner with us, we’ll convene a specialist research team equipped with the specific mix of skills, experience and expertise required to produce your project.

As a university research centre, we’re backed by the reputation and academic rigour of UTS, but we’re small enough to deliver personalised projects that speak directly to your needs.

Contact us to find out how we can help you achieve your research goals.
