Research & Collaboration Hub

The Research & Collaboration Hub at ExpertGate is a central platform that connects Australian research excellence with global innovation opportunities. 

It brings together universities, industry, government, and international partners in one place to co-design projects, share expertise, and deliver research with real-world impact.


How the Hub Works


Facilitator of Collaboration
We unite Australian universities, international institutions, government agencies, and industry leaders into one platform. This makes it possible to form partnerships that are interdisciplinary, inclusive, and strategically aligned.

Pathway to Funding
We provide expertise in navigating complex funding systems, from NHMRC, MRFF, and ARC in Australia to international opportunities such as Horizon Europe. By aligning projects with funding priorities, we maximise success rates and enable ambitious research.

Bridge Between Research & Industry
Research only has meaning when applied. The Hub ensures that discoveries are translated into practical innovations, technologies, and policies that address real-world challenges in health, climate, defence, technology, education, and social equity.

Platform for Global Engagement
Through ExpertGate, Australian-led projects gain visibility and credibility on the international stage. The Hub promotes Australia’s research strengths globally, positioning our institutions as leaders in collaboration and innovation.

Driver of Social Impact
We direct research efforts towards solving the pressing problems of our time — from healthcare access and climate resilience to digital transformation and equitable education. Every project is designed with a clear pathway to societal benefit.

Supporter of Talent Development
By embedding students and early-career researchers into live projects, we equip the next generation with the skills, networks, and experiences they need to become leaders in research, industry, and innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you replace our Research Office?

No. We complement your Research Office by adding capacity for team formation, partner alignment and proposal development. We work to your templates, approvals and internal deadlines, and provide a single point of contact to reduce admin for academics.

Who owns the IP, and how are confidentiality and conflicts handled?

Your institution retains IP. We follow your IP, data and authorship policies, use your approved agreements (e.g., NDAs/MoUs), and document roles and contributions. Conflicts of interest are identified early and managed under your procedures.

Can you help with industry engagement?

Yes. We identify aligned partners (SMEs to multinationals), facilitate introductions, shape co-designed work programs and support agreements that fit your policies. We clarify roles, milestones, contributions and translation pathways.

Which funding schemes do you support?

 We support major Australian and international research programs, collaborative consortia and mission-driven calls. We align proposals to assessment criteria and ensure budgets, timelines and governance meet scheme rules.

What parts of the application do you handle?

Opportunity scanning, concept shaping, methodology and impact logic, track-record framing, budgets and timelines, compliance checks, letters of support, editing and submission coordination. You keep academic control; we ensure structure and completeness.

How do you manage governance, ethics and data?

We work within your governance, ethics and data frameworks. We prepare risk, compliance and reporting materials to your requirements and maintain transparent documentation for audit readiness.

Do you offer post-award support?

Yes—on request. We can assist with early project setup (partner onboarding, reporting structures, delivery plans) to help teams start strongly and meet obligations
