Questions
• Who generates and who applies the ‘K’?• Should R funding depend on usefulness?• What would happen in a real free market?• Are Universities ‘businesses? • Which sector should take the lead for KT?• Social Sciences different from other KT?• How can KT actively inform Gov’t policy?• We shall return……….

The HE Trajectory
• Tech Transfer to Knowledge Exchange• From inputs (resources, structure and
policy), to activity targets and outputs, thence outcomes and impact
• From marginal/part time staffing to professional career (IKT/UNICO/AURIL)
• From incomplete logging of remote proxy data to robust measurement of what matters

Aims of HE knowledge transfer and exchange
• Demonstrate value from public funding• - Delivery of benefit, not just maximising
income to the publicly funded ‘K’ base• Develop economic and social impact• - Needs valid practical indicators for
both• Unlock resources of diverse HE sector• - Need and scope for all HEI’s (also all PSR
Establishments) to be engaged

Knowledge Transfer and Impact StrategyKnowledge Transfer and Impact Strategy
Purpose
● Achieve and demonstrate a step change in the economic impact of the Science Budget
● Knowledge transfer to take centre stage for the research councils
● To take forward with the other research councils, with the social science community and with its user communities
● Specific emphasis on engagement with the business sector

Effectiveness and evidence
• Metrics and targets
• - HEFCE’s & Research Council metrics
• Input from the market/demand side
• - Who are your customers?
• Reputation and quality effects
• - Citations/peer review, objectivity, integrity, influence + ‘repeat business’ from stakeholders

Questions re-visited
• Who generates and who applies the ‘K’?• Should R funding depend on usefulness?• What would happen in a real free market?• Should Universities see themselves as
‘businesses? • Which sector should take the lead for KT?• Is Social Science different from other KT?• How can KT actively inform Gov’t policy?
