Core Research Programmes

A forward look to long-term cross-sector problems.

Our Core Research Programmes are set to deliver long-term, pre-competitive research and innovation and developing collective expertise, knowledge and research results.

They are steered and shaped by industry and designed to address early-stage, cross-sector challenges. The resulting research outputs are regularly published to our members.

By working with sector partners, our members can work collaboratively to seek solutions and develop more integrated approaches across the supply chains.
