Training and facilitation
Practical, tailored training for universities, charities, membership organisations and SME support programmes, from REF and research impact to innovation, audiences, communications and business development.
Areas of expertise
We start with what participants need to understand, decide or do differently, then build the session around their context.
For researchers, impact teams, professional services colleagues, doctoral programmes and research leaders.
For charities, membership organisations, SMEs, accelerators and enterprise support programmes.
We also design and build bespoke online learning tools and platforms that turn specialist knowledge into clear, engaging and practical digital experiences.
These are scoped and quoted separately because the right structure, content and technology depend on your audiences, learning goals and programme.

The participant price does not include venue hire, room equipment, catering or refreshments. These are normally arranged and paid for directly by the client. TIO travel, accommodation and other agreed expenses are also shown separately before booking.
