Consultancy and contract research projects
Consultancy
Whether you require a short-term consulting service to augment your own company's expertise, are looking for an expert witness in a legal action or even need technical advice as part of a due diligence process, the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre has 60 academics available for consultancy. The University's Contract Office handles all the contract details, including insurance and indemnity, so it's as simple as picking a member of staff with the relevant areas of expertise and getting in touch.
Contract research projects
The Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre can also enter into contract research projects, which are similar to consultancies but take place over a longer time-period and may involve more than a single academic. Businesses benefit from the use of the University's facilities and retain their intellectual property, while the University generally benefits through publication rights.
