Consultancy: current work
Introducing our current work
sparqs commences individual consultancy with institutions and students' associations at various times throughout the year. As and when new plans are agreed, a short summary of these will be put on this page, in regional groupings.
At this particular time of year, discussions are just beginning with a number of institutions, so the list below will be more complete later on in the autumn term.
Usually, sparqs works individually with each institution, although as you can see in the UHI Millennium Institute partnership there is collaboration between institutions on two topics. sparqs would be interested in hearing from other institutions who can identify a clear way in which value would be added by working with colleagues in other institutions on similar issues.
This page hopefully gives you a brief overview of the type of work we are currently undertaking with institutions and students' associations throughout Scotland in 2009-10.
It also aims to aid networking between staff and student officers, so if you are interested in a particular piece of work and would like to know who an institution's key contact for the consultancy is, please get in touch with the relevant sparqs officer listed against each institution's name.
