Academic resources
RIKON provides a range of essential supports to researchers working in the Institute, from offering commercialisation advice and identifying funding opportunities to co-ordinating the provision of physical infrastructure.
Transforming RIKON into a world-class research environment requires vision, focus and practical support for researchers and research teams on a daily basis. The RIKON Office is located at the heart of the WIT main campus in the School of Business (room E02).
This RIKON office is responsible for meeting RIKON’s strategic objectives and specifically for: governance and development of research in RIKON; strategic management; research services; infrastructural developments; and commercialisation of research through RIKON.
Excellence in research requires excellent facilities. Staff and students at RIKON have access to first-rate equipment and dedicated research space.
