As part of our strategic focus areas, Knowledge Exchange (KE) Forums are designed to promote targeted knowledge sharing and collaborative innovation. They serve as dynamic spaces for stakeholders to engage on emerging challenges and opportunities across key innovation domains.
The objectives of the KE Forums include:
Exploring innovation needs and trends by discussing stakeholder requirements and emerging topics, helping identify new opportunities for collaborative activity among PNDC, partners, and broader stakeholders.
Co-creating projects by generating, refining, and focusing ideas into concrete collaborative innovation initiatives.
Maximising the value of coordinated project activities and project outputs for stakeholders and partners.
Maximising impact by aligning project activities and outputs to deliver coordinated value to partners and stakeholders.
Steering innovation delivery by contributing to project direction and facilitating the dissemination of results.
Showcasing innovation by providing a platform for invited innovators to present novel ideas and explore broader collaboration.
Stimulating Innovation at Strathclyde
The University of Strathclyde’s Knowledge Exchange approach ensures its research and technologies deliver maximum real-world impact through strategic partnerships.
PNDC hosts KE Forums on a regular basis. Attendance is governed by the terms of individual partnership agreements. Where appropriate, PNDC may also invite additional organisations and stakeholders—such as experts from industry, government, academia, and other research bodies—based on the relevance of the topics under discussion.
