Knowledge Exchange

Knowledge exchange (KE) while often perceived as an integral part of a university’s research endeavours is far more reaching as KE compasses a wide range of activities aimed at disseminating higher education knowledge and skills to those beyond the academic sphere.

Knowledge exchange define KE as:

“…a collaborative, creative endeavour that translates knowledge and research into impact in society and the economy. KE includes a set of activities, processes and skills that enable close collaboration between universities and partner organisations to deliver commercial, environmental, cultural and place-based benefits, opportunities for students and increased prosperity.” –  Knowledge Exchange Concordat 2023.

Essentially universities act as knowledge exchange hubs that are beneficial to, and impact upon the economy and society.
