IRIN · For Specialist Partners

Plug your expertise and equipment into real research projects.

Research projects regularly need capability that no single organisation holds — a niche technique, a specialised instrument, a testing facility. Through the IRIN network, individuals and organisations with that kind of specialist depth get engaged on structured research projects, with Ignition Research handling the coordination and governance around you.

How joining works

  1. Identified

    A live research project surfaces a capability need — a technique, an instrument, a facility — that matches what you offer.

  2. Vetted

    We assess your expertise, equipment and working style, and you join our vetted-partner shortlist for that capability area.

  3. Coordinated

    You participate under one research-governance framework, with clear technical alignment, defined scope and Ignition Research handling coordination.

On client projects, this engagement runs through our specialist technical integration service — the same identify, vet and coordinate process, applied to a specific research question.

What we look for

  • Professional depth
  • Availability
  • Collaboration & documentation discipline

Genuine depth in your domain, realistic availability when a project calls, and the discipline to work collaboratively and document as you go — because in structured research, the record matters as much as the result.

Put your capability on the shortlist

One email with your domain of expertise, any equipment or facilities you can offer, and your availability — and we will know where you fit when the next project surfaces a need. IRIN is a young network, so early partners help shape it.
