Overview

Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) is a leading research institute where more than 50% of its research fund focuses on programs that could benefit various industries. At JUST, we believe that research excellence cannot be achieved without a robust partnership with industry, hence JUST launched its Industry-oriented research initiative: Industry to Industry (I2I).

This initiative aims to enhance JUST' partnership with local industries, businesses, and the private sector aiming at developing long-term partnerships through increasing JUST' participation in solving specific problems. The JUST funded research-based program seeks to receive requests and complaints from different partners, assigning researchers from JUST to deal with these requests, and provide our partners with our research outcomes.

Each partner may have its own rationale for working with JUST, but most of them seek to connect with JUST' research excellence and expertise, and the opportunity to engage with researchers and co-develop new ideas and innovations that can be used into the market. The I2I initiative will augment and enrich research activities at JUST. Through these partnerships JUST will initially dedicate part of its research funding, resources, and tools to help expand the impact and scope of our research efforts as part of the university's social responsibility program.​

Requesting research-based assistance

Define your problem

A first step to initiate a research partnership with JUST, is identifying your problem and the needed scientific expertise, and communicate this to JUST through completing the I2I designated forms.

Engagement process

Once an initial connection has been established, an in-person meeting is often an important next step. As discussions become more detailed, a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement may be signed.

As we progress into the proposal and planning stages, researchers and partners should be prepared to identify realistic goals, timelines and budgets for any proposed activities. Partners are expected may also make important contributions including time commitments of their personnel, data, materials, use of equipment, etc. These important contributions along with many other items will eventually become part of an I2I research agreement between JUST and the partner that will define the contractual relationship and the expectations of all parties.

I2I proposals will go through the research approval and funding process adopted by JUST.
