Melbourne has embraced ‘knowledge transfer’, the idea of a continuous exchange of knowledge between the University and the many communities of which it is part. “ ” Performance Against 2006 Targets Professor Vijoleta Braach-Maksvytis Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Innovation and Development) Develop a strategic framework for a new approach to knowledge transfer Target Outcome Knowledge transfer is widely understood both inside and outside the University. The Knowledge Transfer Taskforce (KTT) has developed a definition of Knowledge Transfer. Communication of the concept will continue. Target Outcome Launch a coherent portfolio of knowledge transfer activities. An audit of current knowledge transfer activities surveyed by the KTT identified 366 examples of projects involving interaction with 1,200 community, industry and government partners, estimated to represent less than 20 percent of University activity. The KTT recommended that the University focus on four knowledge transfer outcomes: generating public debate; enriching communities; enhancing productivity for business and industry; and leading policy development and providing independent advice. Embed knowledge transfer in the core of the University Target Outcome Student involvement in knowledge transfer is evident across the University. The KTT identified a wide range of current student involvement in knowledge transfer programs. New Melbourne Model degrees are to include a knowledge transfer component. Target Outcome Build recognition of staff involvement in knowledge transfer into recruitment, performance, and promotion criteria. Academic Promotions Guidelines have been drafted to incorporate knowledge transfer benchmarks as criteria for promotion. Knowledge transfer activity will also be recognised and rewarded and will be taken into account in recruitment in accordance with Human Resources guidelines developed during 2006. Transform Melbourne’s social and economic engagement Target Outcome Significantly improve contact rates with alumni and organise more focussed events for alumni in Melbourne, across Australia and overseas. Alumni staff was doubled, the ADVANCE database for Alumni was upgraded and corrected, and more regular contact began. 163,000 alumni received the new Alumni Resource Guide, a Growing Esteem brochure and The University Fund brochure as well as the annual Melbourne University Magazine. Five new overseas events began a more focussed alumni program. Contact via the email newsletter GradNet lifted from 8,500 to 26,793. Target Outcome Target Outcome Target Outcome Target Outcome Develop a more focussed portfolio of community engagement activities, and ensure that they are of benefit to the communities concerned, as well as to the University. The new position of Pro Vice-Chancellor (University Relations) has been appointed to oversee community engagement activities. The University’s Cultural and Community Relations Fund made grants totalling $260,109 towards 22 projects involving the community. A commissioned market survey has highlighted aspects of interaction with external partners that can be strengthened. Articulate how our arts and cultural activities fit with the University’s aims. A Cultural Policy Statement was agreed, and published, defining principles for how arts and cultural activities fit into the University’s aims. Increase the number of staff appearing with significant impact in the media and other public forums. The University’s academics are in constant demand as authoritative and independent commentators on significant public issues. Recast commercialisation aims and targets, and implement successfully the new Intellectual Property policy. The Commercialisation Strategy Paper adopted by Council sets out objectives and policies and outlines operational improvements and new initiatives. A revised approach to Intellectual Property (IP) was agreed in principle by Council, with complementary IP principles and an Invention Disclosure policy adopted. As a general principle, the University asserts ownership of intellectual property, other than scholarly works, created by its academic staff. The University of Melbourne Annual Report 2006 35
