Understanding Knowledge Exchange
What is Knowledge Exchange?
Universities teach students and undertake research that creates new and useful knowledge. But they also work with many different types of partner to ensure that this knowledge can be used for the benefit of the economy and society - this is known as knowledge exchange (KE).
KE includes a wide variety of mechanisms through which knowledge is exchanged including collaborative and contract research, consultancy, provision of facilities and equipment services, training and workforce development, commercialisation of intellectual property via spinouts and licensing activities, provision of (formal and informal) advice by academics, and many others.
