Sponsor & Partnership Terms
We make explicit the value provided to sponsors and partners — and the rights we do not provide. Academic independence is the precondition for every partnership.
These terms are a structural draft. Binding contractual clauses are set in each agreement once the operating entity and legal review are confirmed.
Provided value
By sponsorship tier, we provide logo and name placement, program co-branding, participation in reporting sessions, and opportunities to fund scholarships. The specific scope is defined in the contract.
Academic / commercial separation
Curriculum, assessment criteria, completion decisions, and recipient selection are not influenced by sponsors. Exposure and academics are managed under separate authorities.
Rights not provided (no-go)
Academic-supervisor branding, exclusivity that excludes third parties, and interference in educational content, assessment, or selection are never offered as sponsor rights.
Conflicts of interest (COI)
Conflicts involving faculty, committee members, and selection are disclosed and managed. Where a sponsor-related interest exists, procedures exclude the affected party from the relevant decision.
Use of name and logo
Mutual use of names and logos is limited to a pre-approved scope, period, and medium. Procedures for ceasing use and removing displays after termination are defined.
Consideration and tax classification
The classification of sponsorship, donation, and educational consideration is handled appropriately for accounting and tax based on substance. Classification is specified once the operating entity and finance decisions are made.
Reporting and impact
Funding, exposure, participant numbers, learning outcomes, and social impact are reported quarterly and annually.
Termination clauses
Contracts include termination clauses for governance breaches, serious conflicts of interest, reputational risk, and non-performance.
