Research that Matters

Welcome to our Research Themes page, where academic innovation meets real-world impact. This space highlights research areas that are not only industrially relevant to Arm and the broader software ecosystem, but also critical to shaping the future of technology and employability in this space.

As part of a pilot initiative, we’re actively exploring collaborative opportunities with academia to better align cutting-edge research with industry needs. Whether you’re working on low-power computing, compilers, system architecture, machine learning, trusted execution, or developer tools, we want to hear from you.

Why This Matters

The future of computing is shaped by research today. At Arm, we’re committed to supporting research that addresses real challenges in software design, system optimization, and future-looking platforms. Aligning research efforts with industrial needs can help students and researchers:

  • Understand practical, scalable applications of their work
  • Gain visibility and build connections in the tech industry
  • Improve their employability by working on technologies that are in high demand
  • Get early access to collaboration opportunities and internal referrals

Research Areas of High Interest to Arm

Coming soon

Example research projects that both industrially relevant to the Arm ecosystem and exciting for academia are available on the left-hand side navigation bar.

Collaborate with Arm

We’re inviting short-term project proposals from academic researchers and students where Arm can potentially offer technical insight, mentorship, or in-kind contributions to support your research. These projects could serve as proof-of-concepts or initial steps toward longer-term collaboration.

If you’re working on something innovative and believe there’s a fit with Arm’s ecosystem, let us know!

Tell Us About Your Research

Are you a student or researcher working on a topic related to Arm’s software ecosystem? We’d love to hear more about your work and its potential impact. Please reach out to us at university@arm.com and tell us:

  • What you’re researching
  • How it connects to Arm’s technologies or future needs
  • Any ideas for collaboration or joint exploration

This is a pilot project, so we’re eager to shape this initiative based on your input and participation. Let’s build the future—together.
