Note to those people who hate having to register for anything
It may be a pain, but it does not have to be.
If you have a "secondary" email address that you use for signups, which you otherwise basically ignore apart from clearing it down every so often, and only go into to deal with signup handshakes and set up forwarding rules for stuff you are actually interested in, then
use that one.
We want to try and ensure you are not-a-bot, and yes, we may send follow up material to the email address, typically an invitation to register fully if we think you may have a useful role in the system, but we do not give your email address to anyone else, or send endless streams of offers and marketing.
If you want to sign up for notifications about projects, either to work with, or to invest in, then we ask that you do that explicitly from one of our websites through a separate registration (probably using your primary email address).
If you have an in demand skills profile, or interest in a project type we are seeing with higher frequency, you will get more email than if not.
We use a policy of incremental registration, just being on the end of a live email address being one step up from unknown, through to being fully authenticated, and being able to recognise your digital signature, and you having the authority to influence project outcomes and assign budgets.
This is just the first step, how far you go is up to you.
University Economic Model:
This is a model of the pressures on universities and their parameters.
If you are a mentioned university and you would like to update the parameter values used please let us know what the corrected values are by the following process.
export the data as a csv from the model (press the export button).
amend your own establishments data line (or add it if you are not on the list).
send it to contact@labtoipo.com with a subject line of 'UEM data'.
The model is based on the latest public data.
