The second iteration of the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF2) was published in September, providing us, businesses and other users with a clearer understanding of how the University of Kent\u2019s knowledge exchange activity compares to that of other higher education institutions in the UK.<\/p>\n
Why is this important? Because knowledge exchange is the third pillar of \u00a0University assessment, alongside the REF and TEF, and has long been at the heart of our research and innovation activities. Knowledge exchange is any process through which academic ideas and insights are shared beyond the university, and external perspectives and experiences brought into academia \u2013 which includes everything from business workshops and graduate start-ups to commercialisation and public engagement.<\/p>\n
Last month, Kent staff were given the opportunity to find out more about the KEF2 in a webinar hosted by DVC for Research and Innovation, Shane Weller, Director of Research and Innovation, Kerry Barber, Knowledge Exchange and Engagement Manager, Cat Tate and Knowledge Exchange Officer, Joe Jones. A recording of the webinar is available for staff to watch on Microsoft Stream here.<\/a><\/p>\n Now Cat and Joe -responsible for gathering the data which feeds into the KEF- are giving you the chance to come to them with your questions about the KEF2 on their Introducing the KEF2 ‘roadshow’.<\/strong> They’ll be positioned in academic divisions across our Canterbury campus over the following week, giving you the opportunity to drop-in and talk about all things knowledge exchange.
