The next meeting of KEIN (the Kent Enterprise and Impact Network) will take place on Tuesday 21 February, from 12:15-13:45, in the Medway Building, Room M3-04 on the Medway Campus. The event comprises a networking lunch, followed by two short presentations with Q+A, and then an informal discussion.

This session will focus on consultancy with a presentation from Dr Jaideep Oberoi, a Lecturer in Finance at Kent Business School. Jaideep developed a consultancy project with a large multi-national insurer. He will share the steps that he took to develop the project and explain why consultancy works for him.

The second speaker will be Kate Farrow from KIE’s Project Development Team. Kate is integral to the smooth running of consultancy projects as she drafts the contracts between the University and partners. Kate will share her expertise of the consultancy process and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. If you have any enterprise ideas or ideas prompted by the presentations, this is also an opportunity to share these and hear about how the University can provide support.

All University staff are welcome to attend. To reserve your place at the session, including a free buffet lunch, please make a booking via the Learning and Development website.

If you would like to come along for the presentations only, you are welcome to turn up on the day without booking a place and feel free to bring your lunch with you.
