Notice Information

Notice Title

Commercialization Strategy Consultant

Notice Description

The Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) within the Plymouth Institute of Education is currently a not-for-profit research and development centre dedicated to helping and supporting teachers to enhance the mathematical progress of their learners. The centre works across all sectors of education, nationally and internationally, developing help, advice and resources by taking a research evidence-based approach to innovating classroom practice in mathematics. CIMT has an extensive website of mathematical resources for teachers and learners that is widely used around the world. All resources on the website have always been freely available since the site's inception in 1995. The goal of this project is to work with an external expert/s to develop a viable plan that will unlock the value and commercial potential of the CIMT and in so doing ensure its long-term sustainability. Whilst we are clear on the drivers for this work, we are open minded as to how the commercialization of CIMT is achieved, and would be willing to consider a range options from, for example, exploiting specific areas of Intellectual Property to develop new products or services, to the spinning-out of a new legal entity and seeking external investment through which to scale. Following this project the CIMT Steering Group should be well positioned to commercialise the CIMT offer with a clear understanding of the product, market, competitors and opportunities with the knowledge needed to identify and approach investors in order to secure their investment into CIMT and its products for the future.
