Knowledge Transfer Account - Queen Mary, University of London

我们很欣赏早期学者（第一职位），完成研究助理临时职位并希望进入学术界或工业界永久职位的人，以及刚刚完成博士学位的人，他们对KT培训的要求有很大的不同，因此我们为每个人量身定制不同的课程和经验。一个关键目标是，在英国首次为那些希望走这条路的人提供从博士后研究助理到工业研发人员的职业过渡路径。我们确定的实现目标的机制或活动是：职业道路产业奖学金：为早期职业博士后科学家和工程师（博士学位未满6年）开发短期（<12个月）KT行业项目，让他们在从事工作时获得KT经验，以测试一个想法或过程的技术/商业可见性，由更资深的研究人员指导。早期职业学术/行业互动：年轻学者和行业合作伙伴之间灵活的KT项目，由更有经验的研究人员监督，以引入新的学者与行业合作，同时转移行业合作伙伴所需的专业知识。这一计划将适用于有意在学术界从事职业的人；确保他们看待未来成果的利用的方式与他们目前看待发展学术论文的方式相同。QMUL的所有新学者都将获得PGCAP资格认证，作为该资格认证的一部分，KT将开发两门新课程。作为这项活动的一部分，预计新的研究人员将花时间在工业合作伙伴的场所。KT首次接触：博士生在研究结束时承担的短期项目（最多6个月）。他们的想法是，他们将在KT与他们的主管和行业合作伙伴一起进行练习。他们将向合作伙伴支付50%的费用。完整的KTPs：这些将由KTA资助，用于超过职业道路工业奖学金和早期职业互动计划所设想的12个月的项目。KT的发展时间：收购高级职员的教学，这些高级职员可以通过与行业合作开发一个联合项目，为年轻的科学家和工程师提供指导，证明他们为英国带来了宝贵的经济效益。奖励将为1至2个学期的教学买断。交互事件，QMUL研究人员和行业合作伙伴可以在此会面。这将使QMUL的研究人员和工业界之间的关系更加密切，并为KT带来新的机会。这些活动将有主题，特定的行业将被邀请到QMUL来观看我们的研究，并将由新的研究人员和学者组织和运营，这些研究人员和学者将从这个KTA中受益。这些活动的形式将结合海报、KT外部演讲者和工作人员关于应用他们的研究的演讲。其中至少有两个将与LDA和数字通信与电子KTN一起针对中小企业，否则这些将很难达到。夏季课程，向外部受众介绍QMUL正在进行的最新研究。这些活动包括在沙坑中展示EPSRC资助的研究。它们与互动事件的不同之处在于更加正式；与QMUL S&E的员工一起举办研讨会，介绍最新的研究方向和成果。KT资格：我们计划通过与QMULs教育和员工发展部一起开设两门KT课程来吸引新学者，作为所有新学者必须参加的研究生学术实践证书（PGCAP）资格的一部分。对于注册会计师和参与该项目的学生，我们计划提供与韩国科学院商学院（CASS Business School）联合开发的课程，并获得知识转移研究所（IKT）的认证；一个寻求在产品和服务开发中运用知识发展专业知识的组织。这将使RA/学生的职业道路最终获得国际公认的专业资格（(MInstKT)）对他们在KT技能的承认。

We appreciate that early-stage academics (in first post), those completing a Research Associates temporary position and who wish to move into a permanent position in academia or industry, and those just finishing a Ph.D. differ substantially in their requirements for KT training, so we are tailoring different courses and experience for each. A key objective is, for the first time in the UK, a career transition path from a post-doctoral research assistant role to one in industrial R&D for those wishing to go down this route.Our identified mechanisms or activities to achieve our objectives are:Career Path Industrial Scholarships: Developing short (<12 months) KT projects with industry for early career post-doctorate scientist and engineers (< 6 years from Ph.D.) to allow them to get experience of KT while they undertake work to test the technical/commercial visibility of an idea or process, mentored by more senior researchers Early Career Academic/Industry Interactives: Flexible KT projects between young academics and industry partners, supervised by more experienced researchers, to introduce new academics to working with industry while transferring expertise required by the industry partner. This scheme will be for people intending to pursue a career in academia; to ensure they look on the exploitation of future results in the same way as they currently look to developing academic papers. All new academics at QMUL undertake a PGCAP qualification and two new courses will be developed in KT as part of this qualification. It will be expected the new researcher will spend time at the industrial partner premises as part of this activity.KT First Exposure: Short-term projects (up to 6 months) undertaken by Ph.D. students at the end of their research. The idea is that they will undertake an exercise in KT with their supervisor and an industry partner. They will be based >50% at the partner.Full KTPs: These will be funded by the KTA for projects that are longer than the 12 months envisioned for the Career Path Industrial Scholarships and Early Career Interactives. Developing Time for KT: Buy-out of teaching for senior staff who can prove they are delivering a valuable economic benefit to the UK by developing a joint programme with industry involving and mentoring young scientists and engineers. Awards will be of 1 to 2 term teaching buy-outs.Interaction events, where QMUL researchers and industry partners can meet. These will enable a closer relationship between the researchers at QMUL and industry and lead to new opportunities for KT. The events will be themed, such that specific industries will be invited to QMUL to see our research and will be organised and run by the new researchers and academics that are to benefit from this KTA. The format of these will be a combination of posters, external speakers on KT and talks by staff on applying their research. At least 2 of these will be targeted towards SMEs in conjunction with the LDA and Digital Comms & Electronics KTN as these can otherwise be hard to reach.Summer courses describing the latest research being undertaken by QMUL to external audiences. These will include activities like sandpits where EPSRC funded research can be demonstrated. They will differ from the Interaction Events in being more formal; with QMUL S&E staff giving seminars on the latest research directions and findings. KT Qualifications: We plan to engage new academics by running in conjunction with QMULs Educational and Staff Development Department two KT courses as part of the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) qualification that all new academics must undertake. For RAs and students engaged with the programme, we plan to offer a course developed in conjunction with CASS Business School in KT and accredited by the Institute of Knowledge Transfer (IKT); an organisation that seeks to develop professionalism applying knowledge in the development of products and services. This will allow the RA/student a career path to eventually receive acknowledgement of their skills in KT by an internationally recognised professional qualification ((MInstKT).
