Through our partnerships with academic institutions—including joint research consortia, programs, and R&D partnerships—we funnel energy into discovery, collaboration, and innovation. Together, we pursue a shared commitment to advancing the state of science and scholarship.
Through these relationships, we are able to leverage resources and deliver project results across our many practice areas.
