About

The Collaboration Readiness tool allows you to understand practices and approaches that underlie your readiness to collaborate with a university or research institute.

The tool (and associated index) is a collaboration between the CSIRO, RMIT, University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology. This has been created in response to Recommendation Nine of Enablers and Barriers to Industry R&D Collaboration.

These university and research organisations are motivated to the continued improvement of Australia’s integration between SMEs and science research. This project is funded and supported by CSIRO’s SME Collaboration Initiative.
