At Thales in the UK, we partner with academic institutions on a large number of research projects and programmes. Underpinning this is our Strategic Partnerships Programme that encompasses our work with academic institutions. The purpose of this programme is to coordinate our work with Universities across key areas of research. Not only does this help us to be more strategic with our investments; educate students and inform them about our company; it provides them with the opportunity to get involved in research that relates directly to our relevant industries.
Below are some examples of our academic partnerships, highlighting the areas of research that we are working together on, as well as the specific programmes that have been set up.
