NanoTRIZ engages qualified researchers, technical specialists, and industry experts to support defined research and innovation projects.

Project roles

• Project Scientific Advisor — provides specialist review and strategic guidance

• Project Scientific Lead — coordinates scientific methods, analysis, and quality review, and holds final scientific responsibility for the project

• Project Lead — coordinates milestones, documentation, and delivery

Roles are assigned according to actual responsibilities, qualifications, project requirements, and documented authority. A role exists only in relation to a specific, named project with defined start and end dates. NanoTRIZ does not confer standing scientific titles independent of a project.
These are internal, project-based designations. They do not constitute university faculty appointments, accredited research supervision, higher-degree supervision, tenure, employment, academic qualifications, or permanent institutional affiliation.

Written engagement
Each engagement is defined in writing and may address:
 

• project scope and responsibilities

• decision-making and review authority

• confidentiality and intellectual property

• authorship and publication arrangements

• conflicts of interest

• compensation, where applicable

• duration, and permitted public use of the role during and after the engagement

Researchers affiliated with another institution remain responsible for complying with their employer's policies concerning outside activities, conflicts of interest, intellectual property, and public affiliations. Employment, contractor, or voluntary status is determined by the applicable agreement, the practical nature of the relationship, and Australian law — not by the project title alone.

Public representation
A NanoTRIZ role may be listed publicly only where it has been formally documented and accurately describes work actually performed. The listing must state the project and the relevant dates.
 

• Project Scientific Advisor, NanoTRIZ Innovation Institute — [Project Name], 2026

• Project Scientific Lead, NanoTRIZ Innovation Institute — [Project Name], 2026

• Project Lead, NanoTRIZ Innovation Institute — [Project Name], 2026

Titles must not be shortened, reformulated, or listed without a project and dates in a way that implies a standing appointment, employment, or institutional affiliation.

NanoTRIZ lists a person's name, image, role, or project information on its website or in any public material only with that person's prior written approval for the specific use and wording. NanoTRIZ may withdraw a role designation where an engagement ends, is not performed as documented, or where public use is inconsistent with these principles; withdrawal includes a request to remove the listing from personal profiles and CVs.

Status
NanoTRIZ is not a TEQSA-registered higher-education provider. These roles do not constitute accredited university appointments or higher-degree supervision, and NanoTRIZ cannot issue recognised Australian higher-education awards.
