             5 Partnering within projects the      Partnering with groups or industry by the Institute and projects within should be the usual
               default position                    position to aid uptake of research outputs. Any variation from this position should be for
                                                   specific reasons only (e.g., commercial IP issues) and only be granted with the full
                                                   agreement of Institute members.

             6 Well defined boundaries of effort   The activities undertaken within the Institute should ensure any research undertaken is
             and clear definition                  well defined and fits within well-defined boundaries to prevent overreach or competing
                                                   with the activities of other groups.

Important    7 Institute management structure      The Institute should have a well-defined management structure that is also somewhat
               and purpose well defined            independent of the Councils day-to-day activities. This protects the integrity of the
                                                   Institute and does not rely on having to extend the work activities of the existing Council
                                                   staff. This structure should not be so complex as to cost more than the benefits provided.
