ASSAAR aims to be the consultancy provider of choice for organizations involved in the delivery, dissemination and commercialization of research. We believe knowledge is a public good which should be shared as widely as possible, and that private enterprise has a crucial role to play in disseminating this knowledge and bringing it to market.

We are a small team with particular expertise and a big network. This allows us to bring together the right people, skills and connections in a timely way to meet our clients’ needs. We take pride in the work we do, and we operate to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. Our many satisfied clients attest to that.

How we can Help?

Research takes place in a complex ecosystem where change comes slowly and relies on consensus. We won’t try to shortcut this process, or pretend these challenges don’t exist. But we’ll usually have a good idea of what to look at, who to speak to, and what approach is needed to deliver meaningful results.

We are respected by many key stakeholders in academic research and scholarly communications. This allows us to make connections and source information that others cannot. Our work spans organizational and national boundaries and we frequently provide independent expertise at the nexus between government, academia and the private sector.
