Aston University is a long established British university known for its ground breaking research and strong links to industry. Research at Aston makes a real difference to individuals, organisations and society―we're advancing scientific and theoretical knowledge, and working to share and implement the outcomes of our activities.

Our innovative research has generated novel intellectual property in two key areas:

Aston has a policy of actively creating, protecting, and commercializing its intellectual property. We currently manage some 50 patent families, and we're seeking licensees who can help bring these technologies to market.

We also have a number of spin-out opportunities of interest to entrepreneurs and investors.
