Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial appointment: The engagement lasts one year. An extension depends on your performance, so continued engagement is tied to the review of your work.
• Industry presence on campus: An increase in industry visits is one of the stated performance indicators. The notice therefore connects the role's results to how actively companies engage with the campus.
• Research offices: Performance is also measured by how many companies receive support to establish research and development offices in the park. This gives the engagement a specific focus on companies joining the Research Park.
• Consultancy links: New consultancy projects involving industry and faculty form another measure of performance. The Research Park looks at the resulting collaborations as part of assessing the role.
• Industry events: The number of industry events held during a year is a further performance indicator. Together, these measures cover visits, research offices, consultancy work and events.
• Exceptional cases: IITGNRP may change or relax the stated requirements and appointment terms for exceptional candidates. The notice leaves that discretion with the Research Park.

• Visit companies and discuss their research and development needs.
• Speak with faculty, students and laboratory coordinators about possible industry collaborations.
• Organise industry-institute meetings and round-table discussions.
• Coordinate marketing material, social media posts and website updates.
• Identify companies that could establish offices in the Research Park.
• Connect companies already in the park with the institute's people and facilities.
