Consultancies are an effective way for QIBs research activities to have additional impact through engagement with external partners such as companies, public sector bodies and charities. QIB Extra can facilitate consultancies on behalf of all QIB staff taking care of all the non-scientific aspects of these projects.
Why perform consultancies?
It creates future opportunities
Through consultancies, you can develop new relationships with external organisations or build on existing relationships. This can lead to future research collaborations, academic funding opportunities or opportunities for further commercial income.
Income generation
Where work is performed outside of normal working hours income from consultancy may be taken directly by the consultant.
Alternatively, where time permits, if work is undertaken during core hours then the money can be used to support other research activities.
Why go through QIB Extra?
QIB Extra takes care of the administrative, financial and contractual issues associated with any consultancy, allowing you to focus on the relationship with the client and the delivery of the consultancy itself.
Furthermore, by going through QIB Extra your activities will be included under our company insurance, shielding you from unnecessary liability.
For this support, a small management fee is included in each consultancy contract and is covered by the client separately from the consultant's earnings.
