Who can partner
Built for organisations already working with higher institutions
If your work already touches institutional repository setup, research governance, or academic technology, there's likely a fit.
Research organisations
Bodies working with higher institutions on research infrastructure, compliance, or reporting.
Education technology organisations
Vendors and integrators already embedded in institution ICT or academic-systems procurement.
Implementation specialists
Teams that run migrations, data cleanup, or systems rollouts for institutions.
Institutional service providers
Firms with existing institution relationships across library, registry, or research-office services.
Partnership types
Three ways to work with us
Referral
Introduce an institution to Inrep Scholar. We handle the evaluation, proposal, and implementation from there.
Implementation
Deliver migration, training, or rollout work directly, alongside our own implementation team.
Strategic
Joint planning for institution networks or multi-institution programmes, where the relationship goes beyond a single rollout.
What partners do, and what we provide
Partner with Inrep for institutional repository delivery
