Research Collaboration
Joint research, evidence generation, methods development, publications, or applied research projects.
Partners and Collaboration
Complex problems rarely belong to one organisation.
SustematiQ works with research institutions, public bodies, innovation organisations, companies, NGOs, funders, and technology partners on projects where stronger research, stakeholder intelligence, decision support, or responsible technology capabilities are needed.
We collaborate where our capabilities strengthen the wider project, not simply to occupy a role in the consortium.
Discuss a partnershipWhy partner with SustematiQ
Bridge research, stakeholders, decisions, and real world adoption.
Technical development, policy, research, programme design, and implementation often happen in different parts of a project. SustematiQ can help connect them by investigating the stakeholders and conditions surrounding the work and translating that evidence into decisions, validation, and implementation learning.
Research and Evidence
Design and conduct research around stakeholder needs, markets, programmes, technologies, adoption, and societal questions.
Stakeholder Intelligence
Understand relevant actors, needs, incentives, relationships, influence, dependencies, vulnerabilities, and potential resistance.
Adoption and Readiness
Investigate the institutional, behavioural, market, regulatory, trust, and implementation conditions surrounding an innovation.
Programme and Ecosystem Intelligence
Understand how organisations, resources, programmes, relationships, and interventions interact across a wider system.
Foresight
Explore plausible technological, market, institutional, regulatory, and societal change around the project.
Societal Effects and Trade Offs
Examine potential benefits, burdens, risks, vulnerabilities, and differences across stakeholder groups.
Pilot and User Validation
Test assumptions with relevant users, institutions, or affected stakeholders under realistic conditions.
Decision Support
Translate evidence into briefs, workshops, priorities, implementation choices, and structured decisions.
Ways we collaborate
Different forms of collaboration, shaped around the project.
Funded Consortia
Participation in European, national, regional, or other funded research and innovation projects where our capabilities fit the project objectives.
Pilots and Validation
Test SustematiQ methods, products, or partner technologies with relevant stakeholder groups and real use contexts.
Programme Partnerships
Support ecosystem, public, research, NGO, or innovation programmes through research, stakeholder intelligence, evaluation, and learning.
Technology Collaboration
Combine SustematiQ research and human centred technology capabilities with complementary technical platforms, infrastructure, or specialised expertise.
Strategic Partnerships
Longer term collaboration where organisations repeatedly need stakeholder intelligence, research, decision support, or responsible adoption capability.
SustematiQ in research and innovation consortia
A substantive partner, not only a dissemination partner.
SustematiQ can contribute to stakeholder research, adoption readiness, societal analysis, market intelligence, foresight, validation, impact pathways, programme learning, and decision support. Communication and dissemination can be supported where relevant, but they should reflect substantive research and project learning rather than define our role.

Independent researchers, experts, and specialist organisations
What makes a good partnership
Shared purpose, complementary capability, useful outcomes.
A real problem to solve
The collaboration should address a meaningful research, stakeholder, adoption, decision, or capability challenge.
Complementary capabilities
Each partner should bring something the others cannot simply duplicate.
Clear intellectual contribution
SustematiQ should have a substantive role in the research, analysis, product, validation, or decision process.
Responsible data and technology practices
Collaboration should respect privacy, stakeholder agency, research integrity, and appropriate governance.
Useful outcomes
The project should generate knowledge, capability, evidence, technology, or decisions that can create value beyond administrative completion.
Product and research partnerships
Explore methods and products in real contexts.
Mate
Mate can be explored through user research, professional pilots, institutional use cases, integration research, and studies around decision burden, judgement, and personal intelligence.
FoQus
FoQus can be explored through user studies, research collaborations, workplace or educational pilots, and research around attention, microbreaks, healthy digital engagement, and capability transfer.
Building a project where SustematiQ could add something meaningful?
Tell us about the problem, consortium, programme, research question, pilot, or technology you are developing. We can determine whether our capabilities genuinely complement the project and what role would make sense.
