项目摘要

The purpose of this research is to develop a new methodology for understanding the extent, nature and impact of universities' knowledge exchange partnerships within England and Wales' Creative Economy. This will build on the work of earlier University Alliance research, such as Creating Innovative Regions (2016), identifying the crucial leadership and connecting roles universities play via: longstanding graduate networks; close relations with local businesses and public sector bodies; their alignment to regional strengths; the extent to which they act as hubs for KE activity; and their contribution to the Creative Economy ecosystem. It will also build on the analysis of the AHRC's Knowledge Exchange hubs and Brighton Fuse.The pilot takes Alliance universities as a test case for developing the new methodology to tell the 'hidden story' of partnership activities, with broadened access allowing us to combine robust data mapping techniques with qualitative analyses to reveal underlying factors and insights. The study takes place within an institutional context, and therefore needs to take into account existing frameworks, priorities, investment strategies, governance, organisational structures, external engagement, labour divisions, reward systems, resources, expertise, and cultural doctrines. Situating KE operations within the wider ecosystem - in a similar manner to the innovation studies around regional economic development attempted by many geographers - will also allow us to address not just outcomes, but include the power relations and decision-making processes missed by other studies.In doing this, the project will undertake a gap analysis identifying the limits of existing data sets, and will seek to make recommendations for institutions and policy makers accordingly that will address existing systems and practices. Although the focus will be local, exploring the role of universities as 'anchors' in their regions, the mapping exercise will also examine existing Alliance KE partnership activities with international development potential.

本研究的目的是开发一种新的方法来了解英格兰和威尔士创意经济中大学知识交换伙伴关系的范围、性质和影响。这将建立在早期大学联盟研究工作的基础上，例如创建创新区域（2016），确定大学通过以下方式发挥的关键领导作用和联系作用：长期的研究生网络；与当地企业和公共部门机构的密切关系；它们与区域优势的一致性；它们作为 KE 活动中心的程度；以及他们对创意经济生态系统的贡献。它还将以对 AHRC 知识交换中心和布莱顿保险丝的分析为基础。该试点项目将联盟大学作为开发新方法的测试案例，以讲述合作伙伴活动的“隐藏故事”，并扩大访问范围，使我们能够将强大的数据映射技术与定性分析相结合，以揭示潜在因素和见解。该研究是在制度背景下进行的，因此需要考虑现有框架、优先事项、投资策略、治理、组织结构、外部参与、分工、奖励制度、资源、专业知识和文化原则。将知识共享运作置于更广泛的生态系统中——与许多地理学家尝试的围绕区域经济发展的创新研究类似——也将使我们不仅能够解决结果，而且还包括其他研究遗漏的权力关系和决策过程。为此，该项目将进行差距分析，确定现有数据集的局限性，并将寻求为机构和政策制定者提出相应的建议，以解决现有的系统和实践问题。尽管重点将放在本地，探索大学作为其所在地区“锚点”的作用，但规划工作还将审查现有的具有国际发展潜力的联盟 KE 伙伴关系活动。
