News & Information

We are proud to announce the relaunch of the Expertsouthwest.com website, the regional portal promoting collaborative work between businesses and the universities of South West England. Expertsouthwest.com provides a central information point for businesses and gives an insight into the extensive opportunities which are to be gained from working jointly with universities in the South West.

The region’s universities offer a wide range of services and facilities for businesses, from training opportunities and graduate placements to state of the art centres of expertise. Universities work on projects with the public, private and not-for-profit sectors and can provide specialist support across a number of industry areas.

The redesigned website provides advice, information and contact details to help businesses take advantage of the opportunities which universities in the South West have to offer. As well as this, visitors to the site can sign up to receive the Expertsouthwest.com newsletter which provides regular updates and there is a success story library where examples of successful projects are showcased.

Jon Hunt, from the University of Bath and Chair of HERDA-SW’s Business Engagement Group, is particularly supportive of the website, saying “The new Expert South West site is fresh, user-friendly and innovative, offering a range of resources to businesses provided by the region's universities. Not only is Expert South West a useful tool in promoting mutually beneficial partnerships, it also allows users a more efficient connectivity with universities via a single gateway.”

The site can be visited at www.expertsouthwest.com.
