Partner with us
If you wish to explore partnering with us on your project, please contact research.partnerships@det.nsw.edu.au to discuss whether the research aligns with our identified priorities and the extent to which we can partner with you.
The department will not be in a position to support or partner on all applications we receive and will prioritise our support to those applications that align most strongly with our research priorities.
It is strongly advised that you start a dialogue with us about a potential partnership as you design your project.
