The Knowledge Exchange Framework outcomes are published annually, reporting on the performance of Higher Education Providers in areas of external engagement such as contract research, consultancy, public engagement, and commercialisation.
These activities are divided into seven perspectives, with each perspective scored against a quintile for the comparator group or 鈥渃luster鈥� and compared to the cluster average. The latest 鈥榩olar cap chart鈥� summarising the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 position is shown in Figure 1 with a link to the dashboard published by Research England also available.
The 麻豆传媒鈥檚 KEF3 results show a performance which is above the cluster average for 3 of the seven perspectives with performance against the remaining four perspectives being at the cluster average. The University鈥檚 performance in 鈥楶ublic and Community Engagement鈥� has seen a jump by two quintiles while 鈥楥ontinuing professional development and graduate start-ups鈥� has fallen by one quintile.
The results reflect the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 ongoing commitment to Knowledge Exchange and delivery of meaningful collaborations and initiatives with external partners.
Professor Jonathan Knight, Vice-President of Enterprise, commented:
The latest KEF3 results demonstrate the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 continuing commitment to delivering meaningful collaborations that support the application of research, generate outputs which benefit wider society and enrich the University鈥檚 research culture.
Dr Steven Boakes, Head of Knowledge Exchange, also commented:
KEF3 reaffirms the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 active engagement with external organisations through a diverse range of KE mechanisms. Engagement through KE continues to deliver collaborations and outputs which benefit partners and communities beyond.
