Consultancy
Consultancy activity by individual members of staff benefits both the individual and the University. Consultancy enables University knowledge to be transferred to business and the wider community; it is a key part of our business engagement activity.
The management of individual staff consultancy is supported by Durham Business & Innovation Services (DBIS).
Please note that:
- Consultancy projects must be registered and authorised using the consultancy process administered by DBIS.
- The Treasurer is the only authorised signature of legal contracts for the University, including consultancy contracts.
- The University insurances for public liability and professional indemnity apply to consultancy project if a consultancy agreement is in place.
- If you wish to engage in consultancy but don’t wish to go through the University process then please contact DBIS also.
