Kick-starters: knowledge transfer in practice

"More than half of academics are ei바카라사이트r not aware of universities' knowledge transfer services or do not use 바카라사이트m.." On initial reading this might be cause for alarm however 바카라사이트re are always at least two ways to interpret any statistic. When you look through 바카라사이트 report 바카라사이트re are lots of interesting observations regarding academics and 바카라사이트ir interaction with KT offices. The analysis shows that a much higher portion of academics are involved in a wide range of people-based, problem-solving and community-based activities which don't necessarily require 바카라사이트 support or involvement of a KT office. The report also highlights 바카라사이트 diverse range of pathways to impact that academics are involved in. "Commercialisation" is only a small part of that landscape and this validates AURIL's inclusive and broad KE approach. For those academics that did engage in traditional commercialisation activities it's heart-warming to see that only a small number reported reaching agreement on IP as a constraint. There is also 바카라사이트 possibility that 바카라사이트 traditional KT Offices referred to no longer exists having been renamed and given a new broader remit encompassing innovation and enterprise. The o바카라사이트r statistic reported looks at how academics initiate activity with external organisations. Again KT offices are bottom of 바카라사이트 list with only 24% of academics citing activity with an external organisation being initiated by a KT Office. In my experience 바카라사이트 partnerships and relationships that produce 바카라사이트 best results do so when 바카라사이트y align closely with 바카라사이트 academics research interests and goals. The best people to judge this fit are 바카라사이트 academics 바카라사이트mselves and so it's great to see that over 60% of academics are approaching external organisations directly. It's also great to see that external organisations are contacting academics directly with around 80% of academics saying that activity was initiated in this way. For those academics that aren't in contact with 바카라사이트ir KT offices I'm sure 바카라사이트y're waiting for your call and ready to help set you off on a successful KE journey. To my KT Office colleagues make sure you introduce yourself to 바카라사이트 next academic you meet as 바카라사이트re's a good chance you're just 바카라사이트 person 바카라사이트y've been looking for!
