University Knowledge Exchange Co-ordinator Bryony Dutta provides a whistle-stop tour.<\/p>\n
Knowledge Exchange\u00a0(KE)\u00a0is more important than ever for the University Sector. Here at Kent, our definition of Knowledge Exchange is as follows:<\/p>\n
\u201cA two-way exchange between researchers, students and research users, to share ideas, evidence research, experiences and skills. It refers to any process through which academic ideas and insights are shared, and external perspectives and experiences brought in to academia.\u201d\u202f<\/i><\/p>\n
Introduced in 2020 and led by Research England, the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) forms the third pillar of assessment of university activities, alongside the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and the Research Excellence Framework (REF). An annual exercise,\u00a0its\u00a0purpose is to:<\/p>\n
1.\u202f\u202f\u202f Enable universities to better understand, benchmark and improve their performance in\u00a0KE\u00a0activities;<\/p>\n
2.\u202f\u202f\u202f Help business and other users access the world-class knowledge and expertise embedded in English\u00a0HEPs;<\/p>\n
3.\u202f\u202f\u202f Increase efficiency and effectiveness in the use of public funding for\u00a0KE.<\/p>\n
To do this, it measure\u2019s the University\u2019s Knowledge Exchange activity across 7 different perspectives, including \u2018Public and Community Engagement\u2019,\u00a0\u2018Local Growth and Regeneration\u2019\u00a0and \u2018Working with the Public and Third Sector\u2019.<\/p>\n
Participation in the Framework is expected to be a condition of funding very soon.\u00a0Managed by the Knowledge Exchange and Engagement Team in Research and Innovation Services, you can find out more about the Framework\u00a0via\u00a0our new\u00a0cribsheet<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0dedicated\u00a0webpage<\/a>,\u00a0or\u00a0watch this introductory\u00a0webinar<\/a>\u00a0for all the details!
