Describe the problem clearly

Begin with a short, non-confidential description of the material or environmental challenge. Explain the industrial context and what you would like to understand. This helps connect the enquiry with a relevant research programme.

Separate information from assumptions

Summarise any existing characterisation and identify what is still unknown. Describe your objective as a question to investigate, without assuming that a particular process will deliver the desired outcome.

Keep the first exchange non-confidential

Initial enquiries should avoid proprietary process details, unpublished results and sensitive site information. A more detailed exchange can be discussed after the purpose and scope of a conversation are established.
