Institutional Partnerships

Partner Portal

The Sovereign Future State programme seeks Memoranda of Understanding with space agencies, fusion research organisations, universities, and aligned institutions. This portal provides the partnership framework, MOU template, and contact pathway.

MOU Framework

How a partnership begins

1
Initial Dialogue — Chatham House
First conversation is always under Chatham House rules. No attribution, no commitment. We describe the programme in full. You ask any question.
2
Document Access — NDA
On signing a simple NDA, your institution receives access to all relevant Category A/B Blueprint documents for the proposed collaboration domain.
3
Research Alignment Session
CSO meets with your Principal Investigators. We map where SFS programme goals and your current research intersect. Identify joint value.
4
MOU Drafting
SFS General Counsel drafts a bespoke MOU. Framework: research domain, IP arrangement (joint, licensed, or separate), publication rights, term, and exit clauses.
5
Signing — No Cost
SFS MOUs carry no financial obligation for Phase 0 partners. We offer research access and recognition. You offer research collaboration and peer review.
6
Active Partnership
Regular research syncs. Joint publications. SFS Prize nomination rights. Annual Programme Day invitation. Named partner on all SFS materials.
Begin a Conversation

All initial contact is informal. No commitment implied. We respond to all institutional enquiries within 5 working days.
