Description

With Peri Cihan, Senior Consultancy Associate Cambridge Enterprise Limited

Being an expert consultant can be invigorating and effective way for post-docs to share their knowledge and expertise with business, the arts and policy sectors and government. From serving on advisory boards to reviewing policy, providing expert witness advice, developing bespoke training programmes, or advising for TV and radio programmes, there are many ways to be a consultant. There are also many things to consider if and when you take on such work: issues around intellectual property, finance, managing contracts and obligations.

The University, via Cambridge Enterprise, offers support for just such work. If you want to know more about how consultancy works and what the University can offer to support you in the process, come for lunch, discussion and perhaps even insights.
