Aims to:
● Generate commercial advantage for the College
● Enhance economic and social impact through
delivery of an integrated programme of knowledge transfer.
Key elements:
● Developing external partnerships
● Realising the commercial potential of research
● Fostering an entrepreneurial culture for staff and students.
Technology Transfer:
● Reviewing, filing and managing newly disclosed IP.
● Deciding on the appropriate route for commercialising. e.g. licensing agreements, spin-out companies

Work closely with academics to identify strategic research strengths and to encourage an innovative research culture.
Promote academic research portfolio to a diverse range of businesses, and funding bodies (including EPSRC, BBSRC, MRC, TSB, EU, Knowledge transfer partnerships and CASE) and opinion formers at industrial meetings, industry focus groups, workshops and national and international showcasing events , project partnering events.
Work closely with funding bodies and collaborators to identify the requirements for collaborative projects
Support academics in obtaining collaborative and industry-linked research funding.
Identify collaborators and partners for projects:
Internally: linking academics from different schools
External collaborators: Industries

NERC LEAD: LIVING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE
● Climate system
● Biodiversity
● Sustainable use of natural resources
● Earth system science
● Natural hazards
● Environment, pollution and human health
Technology Strategy Board has a budget for 2008-2011 of £711 million + £180M Regional Development Agencies + £120 million from the Research Councils. = EPSRC committing at least £45M over 3 yearsStrategic Plan which will be published in Spring 2008.
Mechanisms:
● Collaborative research and development ● Knowledge Transfer Networks (KTNs) ● Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)
Key application areas currently include: ●Environmental sustainability.
● Energy generation and supply.
● Healthcare.
● Transport.
● Creative industries.
● High-value services.
● Built environment.
●Provide a framework for stakeholders, led by industry, to define research and development priorities, timeframes and action plans on a number of strategically important issues.
●Host partnering events for EU projects
