Business arrangements

  • Corporate membership
    Our new corporate membership program provides corporations with corpora and software tools for commercial use, with consultation, and with other benefits. Membership fees are flexible and depend on the size of the corporation and on whether only corpora or also tools and consultation services are needed.
  • Sponsored research
    Sponsored research allows a corporation to define the direction of a longer-term research project. In doing so, the sponsoring corporation can create a research and development basis on which subsequent more product oriented projects can be built.
  • Contract research
    Contract research involves shorter time tables and more specific deliverables than sponsored research. A range of levels of exclusivity are available.
  • Joint development
    A collaboration in which CSLU produces a working product prototype that is subsequently, with consultation from CSLU, embedded in the final product by the corporate customer.  Again, various levels of exclusivity are available.
  • Consultant services
    A corporation may opt for services provided by individual members of the CSLU team, or obtain consultation services through a sponsored or contract research arrangement.
  • Partial payment in equity is now available to certain classes of corporations.
