我们认识到，早期学者(第一个职位)、那些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，以及那些刚刚完成博士学位的人对KT培训的要求有很大的不同，因此我们正在为每个人量身定做不同的课程和经验。在英国，一个关键的目标是为那些希望走上这条道路的人提供一条从博士后研究助理角色到工业研发人员的职业过渡之路。我们确定的实现目标的机制或活动是：职业道路工业奖学金：与业界共同开发短期(&lt；12个月)KT项目，面向早期职业生涯博士后科学家和工程师(&lt；6年博士)。为了让他们在从事测试想法或流程的技术/商业可见性的工作时获得KT的经验，由更资深的研究人员指导早期职业生涯学术/行业互动：年轻学者和行业合作伙伴之间的灵活KT项目，由更有经验的研究人员监督，向新学者介绍与行业合作的新学者，同时转移行业合作伙伴所需的专业知识。这项计划将面向有意在学术界寻求职业生涯的人；以确保他们像目前着眼于撰写学术论文一样，看待未来成果的开发。QMUL的所有新学者都要接受PGCAP资格认证，作为这一资格的一部分，将在KT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在工业合作伙伴场所花费时间。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，他们将与他们的主管和一个行业合作伙伴一起在KT进行一次演习。他们将以合作伙伴的50%为基础。完整的KTP：这些KTP将由KTA提供资金，用于超过职业道路行业奖学金和早期职业互动所设想的12个月的项目。为KT开发时间：买断高级员工的教学，通过与工业界制定一个联合项目，让年轻的科学家和工程师参与并指导他们，从而证明他们正在为英国带来宝贵的经济利益。奖项将为1至2个学期的教学买断。互动活动，QMUL研究人员和行业合作伙伴可以会面。这些将使QMUL的研究人员与行业之间建立更紧密的关系，并为KT带来新的机会。活动将是有主题的，这样特定的行业将被邀请到QMUL来观看我们的研究，并将由受益于该KTA的新的研究人员和学者组织和运行。这些活动的形式将是海报、KT上的外部演讲者和工作人员关于应用他们的研究的演讲。其中至少两个将与LDA和Digital Comms&Electronics KTN一起针对中小企业，因为否则很难获得这些信息。暑期课程向外部受众介绍QMUL正在进行的最新研究。这将包括像沙坑这样的活动，在那里EPSRC资助的研究可以得到证明。与互动活动不同的是，活动将更加正式；QMUL S&E的工作人员将就最新的研究方向和发现举行研讨会。KT资格：我们计划通过与QMULS教育和员工发展部合作开办两个KT课程来聘用新学者，这是所有新学者必须承担的研究生学术实践证书(PGCAP)资格的一部分。对于RAS和参与该项目的学生，我们计划提供一门与KT的卡斯商学院合作开发的课程，并获得知识转移研究所(IKT)的认可；IKT是一个致力于培养在产品和服务开发中应用知识的专业性的组织。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方面的技能的认可。

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).
