The Behavioural Insights Exchange (BIX) was created in 2019 in the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences and 香港六合彩中特网 Enterprise to promote collaboration with industry and inspire innovation.
BIX听connects听Masters'听students with industry partners to conduct behavioural science projects in real-world settings. Projects can be hosted听in the private, public and charity sectors with supplemental academic support. This creates听novel partnerships that provide significant knowledge exchange opportunities, both in terms of sharing our expertise and through feedback from our partners on the听key challenges they face.
How it works
- Industry partners听complete the Project Proposal Form with an initial idea. Either download听the form and send via听email. Or complete the听online form.
- We accept new proposals for our Master鈥檚 students until the end of August. Students are allocated to projects around November.
- Students听apply for the projects and we match听students with relevant interests and skill sets to a听project.
- Industry partners assign听an internal听mentor to oversee the supervision of the project.听
- The BIX team identify a 香港六合彩中特网 academic within the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences to provide supplementary supervision.听
- How and when听a student works听on the project is flexible and will be mutually agreed with the company mentor, student and academic supervisor.听
- Industry partners receive a short听presentation or a 2-3 page听executive report at the end of the BIX project.听
- The project constitutes one third of the student's overall programme grade.
Fees
BIX projects are cost effective with minimal financial obligations relative to the return values. 听
This is split into 2 parts:
1. Research fee -听Industry partners pay听拢1000听research fee听per project听used by the student to cover research expenses i.e. paying participants for testing.
2. Project admin fee - Industry partners pay听拢1500. If you offer more than one听project in one academic year, you will only pay the project admin fee once.听If you offer a project in another academic year, this fee听will apply again.听
In summary:听
- Running one project would cost 拢2500听(plus VAT) 听
- Running two projects would cost 拢3500 (plus VAT)
The fees are听significantly less than hiring a new employee or a project-based consultant, enabling organisations to explore partnership opportunities and/or get answers to specific questions without advanced budget planning.听 Access to听cutting-edge听scientific knowledge and highly skilled data analysis at these rates is not typically available to the private, public or charity sectors.听听
