MacGregor, Stephen; Phipps, David J.; Malcolm Edwards, Cathy; Kyffin, Jen; Portes, Virginie – Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 2021
Intentional efforts to advance the societal impacts of research are known as knowledge mobilization (KMb). Despite increasing pressure on researchers and higher education institutions (HEIs) to engage in KMb activities, capacity building in this area is constrained by a limited understanding of the role of HEIs from the perspective of embedded KMb…

Radin Firdaus, R. B.; Mohamad, Osman; Mohammad, Taufik; Gunaratne, Mahinda Senevi – SAGE Open, 2020
The knowledge transfer program (KTP) in Malaysia was instituted to facilitate knowledge transfer, collaboration, and interaction between academics in public higher institutions and other stakeholders. These programs are divided into community or industry programs. Under the community program, academics collaborate with a community partner to…

Nichols, Naomi; Malenfant, Jayne; Schwan, Kaitlin – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2020
Background: Timely access to relevant and trustworthy research findings is an important facilitator of research use. But the relational aspects of evidence generation, mobilisation and use have been insufficiently explored. Aims and objectives: Our aim is to describe the strategic communicative and relational work of two intermediary organisations…

Kunttu, Leena; Neuvo, Yrjö – Learning Organization, 2019
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the tension between learning and protection in university-industry relationships (UIRs) and, in particular, to identify practices that facilitate ways of coping with this tension. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical work for the study is based on a qualitative comparative case analysis of six…

Naidorf, Judith – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2014
In recent years, a more sophisticated vocabulary has emerged in the field of higher education. Categories such as" socially relevant research"; "knowledge mobilization"; "research impact"; "innovation"; and "university priorities" have appeared. At first glance, these words may appear neutral,…

Faculties of Education and Institutional Strategies for Knowledge Mobilization: An Exploratory Study
Sa, Creso M.; Li, Sharon X.; Faubert, Brenton – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2011
The goal to enhance the impacts of academic research in the "real world" resonates with progressive visions of the role of universities in society, and finds support among policy makers who have sought to enhance the "transfer", "translation", "uptake", or "valorization" of research knowledge in…

Hara, Keishiro; Uwasu, Michinori; Kurimoto, Shuji; Yamanaka, Shinsuke; Umeda, Yasushi; Shimoda, Yoshiyuki – Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, 2013
Systemic understanding of potential research activities and available technology seeds at university level is an essential condition to promote interdisciplinary and vision-driven collaboration in an attempt to cope with complex sustainability and environmental problems. Nonetheless, any such practices have been hardly conducted at universities…

McCord, Olivia Love; Brown, Lora Beth – Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, 2009
Much of what is taught in the family and consumer sciences (FCS) classroom is based on scientific research. The existing knowledge base is so broad that overlooking research as a teaching resource and tool happens often. Research enhances what is taught, thereby improving the effectiveness of teachers. Whether it be applying or translating…

Benneworth, Paul; Jongbloed, Ben W. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2010
Valorisation is at the centre of many debates on the future of academic research. But valorisation has largely become narrowly understood in terms of universities' economic contributions through patenting, licensing, spin-off formation and technology transfer. This emergent restrictive definition of universities' societal impacts is a worrying…

Geuna, Aldo; Muscio, Alessandro – Minerva: A Review of Science, Learning and Policy, 2009
Universities have long been involved in knowledge transfer activities. Yet the last 30 years have seen major changes in the governance of university-industry interactions. Knowledge transfer has become a strategic issue: as a source of funding for university research and (rightly or wrongly) as a policy tool for economic development. Universities…

Powers, Joshua B. – 2003
In recent years, considerable attention has been directed toward higher educations role as a driver of economic reform. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the processes and mechanisms by which academic innovations are successfully commercialized. The specific question is, what factors explain why some licensed innovations become bona fide…

Geisler, Charles H. – Industry and Higher Education, 1998
A survey of 127 universities found increased numbers licensing patented technologies to businesses. Elements aiding this increase included policies encouraging faculty entrepreneurship and a business support system that helps identify industry needs and ways to be responsive. (SK)

Poti, Bianca; Cioppi, Marco – Industry and Higher Education, 1996
Case studies of 10 publicly funded research laboratories in Italy show that integration of scientific research into the social system has only partially been achieved because of barriers in the host institutions and that there is continuing conflict between the priorities of quality and research transferability. (SK)

Jolly, James A. – 1974
This paper discusses the conceptual framework and methodology of the technology transfer process and develops a model of the transfer mechanism. This model is then transformed into a predictive model of technology transfer incorporating nine factors that contribute to the movement of knowledge from source to user. Each of these factors is examined…

Hollifield, John H. – Today's Education, 1982
Teachers rarely use research results to improve their instructional practice or their professional knowledge. In a recent survey, teachers requested practical research results which they could use in their own classrooms. Teachers also requested that research results be presented in a manner in which they could be easily understood. (JN)
