Seminar: The Implications of Knowledge Transfer for Universities: the Case of the Arts and Humanities

by Professor David Shepherd and Helen Parrott, University of Sheffield

Abstract

Knowledge Transfer (KT) is an increasingly high-profile part of UK Government policy.  This interactive and exploratory seminar aims to explore whether KT is a uniquely UK concept. The seminar will begin with an introduction to Knowledge Transfer in the UK Higher Education context, with particular reference to the arts and humanities and the University of Sheffield experience.  Participants will be invited to discuss and feedback to the seminar on key questions, including:

How, if at all, is our version of Knowledge Transfer understood a) in your country, b) in your institution, c) by your subject area and d) by you? 

What are the implications of this understanding in an increasingly global world? 

When? Friday, 6 June

Where? The Conference Room, the Humanities Research Institute (See location map) at 2pm (UK, and will be connecting sites in Europe, China and the US by videoconference.
