| The Association for University Research and Industry Links (AURIL) supported by Hefce has identified the immediate need for high-level leadership development for the diverse range of professionals taking up the challenge in higher education, public and private sectors. The Leadership Foundation in collaboration with AURIL, Association of Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA) and the Institute of Knowledge Transfer (IKT), have developed the Knowledge Transfer Programme to meet this need. |
The Knowledge Exchange Programme provides a joint development opportunity for knowledge transfer, innovation and ennterprise development professionals across the higher education - private, public sector interface which emphasises the need for partnership and a holistic approach to the university as a knowledge entity in the context of a wider knowledge economy. It will assist participants in creating a clearly defined strategic and innovative approach to knowledge exchange. In bringing together senior leaders from businesses, public sector and higher education this programme will enable better joined-up approaches to achieving creatively economic, social and cultural goals.
