We recognise that HEIs can encounter many barriers to engagement
with the business community, including internal cultural and
structural issues, and a failure of the private sector
to appreciate how HEIs can assist. Overcoming these barriers
becomes critical as government initiatives strive to measure the
impact of HEI activity underpinned by Research Council grant award
criteria.
knowledge transfer and exchange initiatives
We work closely with HEIs to develop the knowledge transfer /
exchange agenda and maximise so-called 'third stream' revenue. This
includes IP commercialisation and other knowledge transfer
activities such as consulting, workshops, short courses, CPD,
network events and other activities.
developing the entrepreneurship agenda
In response to the Government's push to develop closer links
between the education community and business, we have been working
with a number of institutions to help to build entrepreneurship
into the HEI's culture. This work has included establishing and
resourcing a student entrepreneurship clinic.

we have done for other higher education
institutions.
