In order to better link partnership theory and practice,
and address gaps in knowledge about partnership brokering in academic literature, PBA has established a range of connections with academic institutions and is compiling a collection of materials on partnership brokering for publication.
We are increasingly involved in academic conferences, seminars and workshops that relate to partnership and collaboration. These opportunities are regarded as vital for the expansion of knowledge and awareness about partnership brokering. Our current partners in the academic sector include:
