Engaged Research – Some concluding thoughts

  Research and Business and Community Engagement have developed with different cultures...Engaged Research?

  Govt has funded (HEIF etc) about 7000 KE/BCE practitioners in institutions with the skills and experience to do engagement/brokering

  Engagement still underdeveloped (most institutions): skills; infrastructure   Engagement: big challenge to traditional academic cultures:

20 year change prog. – half way through? Research-Innovation gap.   Higher Education Institutions – public money: public good. Charities.   HEIs can play a major role in solving society’s problems –

but in partnership with society not handed down from on high   Continuum: (paying) Students become Alumni and Business/community

reps: HEIs needs to harness the continuum of this relationship

Thank you. Your engagement role/activities? JISC Business and Community Engagement – Prof Devt. - Simon Whittemore ENGAGE 2012
