The importance of confidentiality for you and your research
Not all information can, or should, be publicly disclosed. If you are engaging with an external partner, to protect your knowledge, research and ideas, you must not discuss or share confidential information (which includes unpublished research outputs) without a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in place.
Get in touch with the Knowledge Exchange and External Partnerships (KEEP) team as we, and our Contract Team colleagues, can prepare you and, if necessary, be present with you in these initial meetings.
If you have an IP query or idea, please contact the Knowledge Exchange and External Partnerships (KEEP) team via intellectualproperty@reading.ac.uk as soon as possible. Alternatively, with us.
If you have a query related to engaging with external partners, please get in touch with your Business Relationship Manager directly, or alternatively contact the KEEP team through keep@reading.ac.uk.
