Our University supports and promotes academic consultancy with external organisations, in order to demonstrate the impact of research, to enable us to develop relationships with external organisations, and to provide an additional revenue stream.
Our teams can help negotiate the consultancy fee, make contractual arrangements and ensure that any intellectual property arising from the work is properly protected. By taking on consultancy work through university channels, you are also provided with the appropriate professional indemnity insurance.
