What Is Knowledge Transfer
Knowledge transfer is about exchanging good ideas, research results, experiences and skills between universities/colleges, business, government and the wider community. This enables innovative new products, services, processes and policies to be developed. Knowledge transfer is now widely recognised as a key component for economic development.
Universities/colleges are not just places that produce skilled graduates; they also provide a vast diversity of expertise. The sharing of expertise and resources can prove mutually beneficial to companies and the further and higher education sectors.
Northern Ireland’s universities and colleges are home to a growing wealth of knowledge, which can benefit the Northern Ireland business community and the community at large.
