Knowledge Transfer Account - University of Surrey

萨里大学在研究、创新和开发方面有着良好的记录，就其来自英国工业的收入比例而言，它是伦敦和东南部最好的大学。通过对萨里过去和现在EPSRC投资组合的分析，结合其对未来的战略愿景，已开发出3个创新平台，即：1)通信和信号处理；2)下一代材料和表征；3)纳米技术和光子学。萨里在研究方面的卓越吸引了世界领先的工业合作伙伴和知识交流(KE)领域的专家。他们将一起带来KE的阶段性变化，克服剥削的挑战，从而为英国经济和社会带来实实在在的好处。本次投标中概述的创新KE工具箱将使我们能够与我们的用户建立联系；找到合适的合作伙伴和市场进行开发；加快创新；管理风险；传播想法并将KE牢牢嵌入机构文化的核心。为了评估这一KTA的影响，我们将使用由NPL开发的国际公认的、稳健和严格的方法，并结合雄心勃勃的绩效指标。KTA的治理是基于我们非常成功的CTA。在EPSRC评审员的赞扬下，萨里已经表明，大笔赠款可以得到很好的使用，并通过出色的管理和承诺提供高价值的资金……而不需要庞大的官僚机构。这个KTA需要380万英镑，这是由大学和我们的行业合作伙伴提供的500多万英镑的支持。

Surrey has an established track record of research innovation and exploitation and is the top institution in Londonand the South East in terms of the percentage of its income generated from UK industry. Analysis of Surrey's past and present EPSRC portfolio allied to its strategic vision for its future has allowed 3 innovation platforms tobe developed namely: 1) communications and signal processing; 2) next generation materials and characterisation and 3) nanotechnology and photonics. Surrey's excellence in research has attracted world leading industrial partners and experts in Knowledge Exchange (KE). Together they will deliver a step change in KE and overcome challenges to exploitation and thereby deliver real and tangible benefits to the UK economy andsociety. The innovative KE tool-box outlined in this bid will enable us to connect with our users; identify appropriate partners and markets for exploitation; accelerate innovation; manage risk; disseminate ideas and firmly embed KE into the heart of the institutional culture. In order to assess the impact of this KTA we will usethe internationally recognised, robust and rigorous methodology developed by NPL allied with ambitious performance metrics. The KTA governance is based on our highly successful CTA. Commended by its EPSRC reviewers Surrey has shown that large grants can be well spent and provide high value for money through excellent management and commitment...without a huge bureaucracy . 3.8m is being requested for this KTA this is backed by more than 5m from the University and our industrial partners.
