Research and Innovation Contracts
The Contracts team in RIS coordinate and support entire contract transactions end-to-end.
Contracts handle between 800 and 1,000 contracts per year, providing advice and support across the University.
We coordinate entire contract transactions, both reviewing and set up new Agreements, negotiating appropriate terms, managing risk, and arranging the relevant signatures from authorised signatories.
