KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER acknowledging the importance of knowledge transfer recognises that universities have a responsibilty to contribute TO the public good, to be involved in the intellectual and economic life of the community
SECTION HEADING APPEARS HERE Performance Against 2007 Targets Embed knowledge transfer in University processes and operations, curriculum and research Knowledge transfer is now part of the promotion criteria for all staff and incorporated into the executive structure of the faculties. Development of measures for knowledge transfer has commenced. A program of knowledge transfer awards and grants was inaugurated, featuring awards for excellence, new project grants and grants for visiting scholars. Applications for these awards demonstrated the breadth of impressive knowledge transfer activities across the University. Knowledge transfer has been embedded in the University curriculum, with New Generation degrees all incorporating knowledge transfer elements. Internal and external communication plans have been developed, with new initiatives including a knowledge transfer website, the publication Knowledge Transfer: Connecting Melbourne and regular pieces on knowledge transfer written for the University of Melbourne Voice. Knowledge Transfer was highlighted in the DreamLarge advertising campaign as a distinctive feature of the University’s aspirations. Identify and launch a new set of Knowledge Transfer programs New University-level knowledge transfer initiatives include: > The Confucius Institute > The National Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies > The LH Martin Institute for Higher Education > A major partnership with a leading information technology company; and > Whole-of-University contribution to the City of Melbourne’s Future Melbourne project. The Cultural Strategic Plan now sets priorities for management of the University’s cultural resources. The Cultural Renewal Project completed the cataloguing and conservation of many items in the University’s collections. Establish a strong basis for the next phase of commercialisation development through the implementation of a coherent commercialisation strategy All of the University’s commercialisation support services were consolidated under the University’s wholly owned subsidiary UMEE Ltd. Non-commercialisation activities of UMEE Ltd were divested. Communication has been strengthened through creation of the Business Melbourne portal for commercialisation activities and promotional materials entitled Doing Business with Melbourne. Relationships with international investment groups were developed and our international profile was highlighted through Austrade and events such as ANZAME, ASCILITE Singapore, Educause and the 2007 Vocational Educational Technology Conference Bangalore. Ensure that the University is a research leader in the field of knowledge transfer Development of knowledge transfer measures for the University will attract significant attention and place the University as an international leader in knowledge transfer. The Measurement Working Group’s report to Academic Board on measurement and institutionalisation of knowledge transfer will form the basis of a scholarly work to be published in 2008. Scholarship of knowledge transfer has been enriched by the appointment of an inaugural Knowledge Transfer Fellow to produce publicly accessible material on knowledge transfer. The University initiated a course on writing op-ed pieces for newspapers, which ran several times due to high demand. The Writing Centre for Scholars and Researchers assists young researchers developing skills in communicate to a broad audience.
