Overview
Bangor University is a public university founded in 1885 situated in North Wales with charity number 1141565. Governance and compliance department of the Bangor university deals with the core structural leadership, contracts management such as research contracts, management, student disciplinary issues, complaints, data protection, legal services, freedom of information, research ethics and other governance and compliance matters.[1]
Bangor University’s Governance and compliance department can be contacted at 01248382413 and is headed by Gwenan Hine. Categorically, for matters related to contracts, a specialised dedicated team is assigned that deals with all types of contracts especially research contracts and can be contacted at contracts@bangor.ac.uk.
Responsibilities and tasks assigned in the work placement:
Non-disclosure agreements (NDA) – A non-disclosure agreement is a legally binding contract that establishes a confidential relationship. The party or parties signing the agreement agree that sensitive information they may obtain will not be made available to any others. An NDA may also be referred to as a confidentiality agreement. However, it doesn’t stop someone from report a crime being committed in a work premises. Like any other university, Bangor university has non-disclosure agreements with the third parties, researchers, employees, domestic and foreign organisations. I was responsible for research contracts and check whether the contracts meet the required standards or not and was required to alter the agreements in a manner that serves the best interest of the Bangor.[2] Furthermore, if I find any foreseeable harm to the university that could arise out of the agreement or if the agreement doesn’t serve the purpose of the university, I was required to re-write the contract and send it back to my superiors, if they approve the changes the latter contract will be sent to the parties. In case I find any doubts, I was required to consult my superiors, or the parties involved about agreement clauses in question to avoid any errors.
