Strategic partnerships Recent collaboration with UNITAR on attitudinal change toolkit and joint research ventures, plus industry-aligned efforts with Keysight on AI safety in software-defined vehicles, indicate fertile ground for research collaborations, grant-aligned programs, and joint innovation initiatives.
