About us
The Dragon Innovation Partnership aligns with the larger South West Wales Higher Education Partnership (SWWHEP) project between the three universities. The two projects are united in their aim to promote collaborative working between the three partners.
Both projects are funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW), but the Dragon Innovation Partnership has significant direct funding to support, promote and develop relationships with external groups.
The partnership differs from other SWWHEP projects as it has a separate project management team and reports into its own steering group, as well as to the SWWHEP Management Board for strategic direction.
Chris Talbot is the Partnership Manager. If you have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact him on 01792 513708 or c.g.talbot@swansea.ac.uk.
