Upon request, researchers from the university can provide guidance and advice to companies, enabling the companies and their activities to benefit from the advisor’s knowledge and expertise. Technical guidance and consulting which is not deemed to be of a sufficient scale to warrant the conclusion of a contract or collaborative research agreement can be provided by advisors during their working hours as part of their regular work at the university. Consultation can be provided on or off campus. We can provide short term consulting for reasonable rates, and it is also possible to progress from Academic Consulting to the implementation of collaborative research.
In general, any IP developed will be the property of the university.
*Consultation fees will be paid as commission to the relevant laboratories. Hourly rates will be calculated based on the time required for face-to-face consultation, e-mail correspondence, meetings, preparation, and other requirements as necessary.
