Exeter Innovation
Exeter Innovation is a partner for transformative innovation. We harness the world leading research and education of the University of Exeter to create real and lasting impact, by working with organisations of all types and sizes on their innovation journey.
Global Exeter
The University of British Columbia
Activities between the University of British Columbia and Exeter include a joint research symposium focused on Community, Culture, Creativity, and Wellbeing held at Exeter in May 2018 and a faculty-led, co-funded initiatives in Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Climate Change and Digital Humanities.
University of South Florida
University of South Florida and Exeter have entered into a 5 year student exchange between the two Universities. They launched the University of Exeter / University of South Florida Research Catalyst Fund to provide grants to support joint research initiatives between the two institutions.
Tsinghua University
The University of Exeter and Tsinghua University have launched a jointly-awarded PhD degree programme in climate and environmental sciences which supports six students to be co-supervised between Tsinghua's Department of Earth System Science and Colleges at Exeter that conduct research on earth systems and environmental sciences.

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
A partnership between Exeter and HKUST will enable students embarking on Engineering or Computer Science undergraduate degrees at HKUST to finish their degree at Exeter, before spending a fifth year at Exeter's Law School, completing either an LLM (Master of Laws) or a Juris Doctor (JD). Read more.
Nanyang Technological University
NTU and Exeter are working in partnership to deliver six split-site Biomedical PhD studentships. If successful, you will benefit from expert supervision from researchers in both institutions and have the opportunity to research and live in two great locations, for up to eighteen months in each.
University of Geneva
To celebrate, and further extend, the strong relationship of staff within the University of Exeter and the University of Geneva, the two universities have launched a new seed fund to support developing research links.
University of Queensland
The University of Exeter and The University of Queensland have partnered to establish the QUEX Institute, a new multi-million pound partnership designed to bolster their joint global research impact. Read more.

Living Systems Institute
This post has risen as a result of a BBSRC grant awarded to Dr Nikolas Nikolaou and is essential to a programme to understand the extra-nuclear function of SNRNP70, a major spliceosome protein, in modulating the axonal transcriptome and regulating neuronal connectivity. You will have a central role in completing an exciting programme of research to determine, validate and characterise the axonal RNA processing roles of SNRNP70, using a combination of in vivo zebrafish, ex vivo (primary neuron cultures), and in vitro approaches. More broadly, you will have a responsibility for enabling and supporting the ultimate research aims of the laboratory: to uncover novel molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate the assembly and function of neural circuits and how such processes are linked to neurological and neurodegenerative conditions in humans.
Modern scientific innovation involves the integration of diverse fields and the bridging of pure and application-oriented research. This requires a new generation of scientists who are trained to think and experiment beyond traditional boundaries. The recently established Living Systems Institute provides this opportunity by housing world-leading Biologists, Physicists, Mathematicians, Computational Scientists, and Engineers who work together using cutting-edge technologies. Our mission is to uncover the secrets of life across all scales - from individual atoms to whole organisms - and thereby develop new approaches for improving health and treating disease. We wish to recruit highly motivated and imaginative students from across the full range of disciplines mentioned above to join our thriving community of over 50 Ph.D. students.
