CIT’s Engagement Philosophy
(Things we Worry About)
• How do we work with companies from an
innovation point of view?
• If someone has an idea, what
services do we provide
via our ILO/Rubicon/R&D?
• If a company wants to
collaborate with us, how
do they go about doing
this?

CIT Extended Campus
• CIT established the CIT Extended Campus in November
2011 following successful lead in SIF-funded
collaborative REAP project
• Facilitates sharing of information and practice - on
engagement, external organisations and contacts in
order to support and contribute to institutional
strategy and knowledge.
• A single point of contact for external organisations
seeking to interact with academics and researchers in
CIT for graduate formation, workforce development
or research and innovation.
