How do I connect with what's happening?
The first way is to register on the Platform which means completing a form with your contract detail and areas of interest.
Platform membership Form
The Platform (NWU Enterprises) is to be built up as the locus of commercial research and consulting activity. The Platform’s core role is to provide the services that enable growth and execution. One aspect of the platform is to become a connector of the various parts of the eco-system. To this end, over time, all researchers and alumni, retired researchers, customers and others will be encouraged to sign up on the platform.
This will make it easier for a competent project team to be formed to respond to a customer request. It will enable researchers to easily find expertise within the University, it will enable customers to easily find expertise to address their problem.
Being a member of the platform does not require you to respond to invitations- it just means the invitations will be there.
Being a member makes it very easy for you to connect with support should you find yourself in need of support.
