The definition of consultancy contained in the HE-BI survey should be used: that is, “the provision of expert advice and work which, while it may involve a degree of analysis, measurement or testing, is crucially dependent on a high degree of intellectual input from the HEI to business. Such work is usually paid for at a market rate, and may deliver stronger IP rights to the business client than would apply in a collaborative research relationship”.
