Who should attend:
- Established researchers who may already be providing expertise and consultancy, but would like to consolidate their skills, learn to create more opportunities, and explore consultancy routes more systematically alongside research
- Researchers, including post-doctoral researchers and early career academics, who don’t yet have experience in carrying out consultancies but are interested on how to market their expertise and build their skills and confidence.
