Enterprise
Promoting synergy between research and enterprise
Geography at Southampton is proud of its strong links with business and industry.
Our research and consultancy is carried out with partners in industries ranging from environmental consultancies to hypermarket companies.
We also work with local authorities, government agencies and others interested in basing their activities firmly in sound scientific understanding of how the world works.
We can offer methodologies and expertise, innovative ideas and high quality advice. In this way we can assist organisations in their development; gaining a competitive edge in problem solving within an environmentally sustainable framework.
As well as offering student internships, several companies support PhD and postdoctoral research in Geography. We are also able to offer our world-class facilities for contract research, often through Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering ('CASE') schemes.
Our entrepreneurial approach has seen excellent results; our research achievements underpin several commercial arenas. Some of our enterprise is progressed through the GeoData Institute, a Geography-based applied environmental research unit, which specialises in environmental data management, analysis and processing.
