Consultancy 101 is an educational workshop designed to help participants understand the principles, practices and challenges of consultancy work. This session does not provide consultancy placements, projects or work. It is intended to provide knowledge and practical tools for those considering or currently engaged in consultancy roles.
Networking Lunch
From 13:00 – 14:00, there will be an optional networking lunch. For this, we will join up with attendees of our Venture Creation 101 session which takes place from 14:00 – 17:00 on the same day. Why not join us for both sessions for a full day of workshops on how to create quick impact from your research!
