Hi everyone,
I'm working on a novel topic that is mostly advanced by companies, that don't divulge much themselves, but need a public outlet and more resources than they can allocate for it.
I'm trying to convince them that it would be in their best interest to pool their resources to fund a PhD for me at a public university, where I work on this topic. I provided them free consultancy, involved them in publicly funded projects, and managed to involved five of them with which I am signing NDAs and MTAs, each slightly different.
However, it's time-consuming and difficult to handle all of them and secure all the funding for a PhD timely. I was thinking of applying for seed funding from a development-promoting entity to build a research and knowledge sharing platform where to pool the resources, but I'm not sure if it would really be helpful or detrimental.
Does anyone have experiences of this or suggestions?
