If you have been involved in any innovation in which knowledge transfer was key to the commercialisation process, we would like to hear from you, as we seek entries to the PraxisUnico Impact Awards 2013.
What are The Impact Awards?
The Impact Awards are organised by PraxisUnico to recognise and celebrate the process of transferring knowledge, expertise and intellectually linked assets from beyond higher education, charities and public sector research establishments for the wider benefit of society and economy, through two-way engagement with business, the public sector, cultural and community partners.
What’s in it for me/my team?
If your team is shortlisted (or you, for the KT Professional of the Year Award) PraxisUnico will publicise the news widely.
News will also be circulated to:
• business, education, innovation and technology media
• government stakeholders
• research councils and learned
Categories include:
Business Impact – Achieved This award recognises projects that have made an outstanding business impact through successful knowledge transfer, where there is evidence of impact delivered.
Business Impact – Aspiring This award recognises projects that promise to make an outstanding business impact through successful knowledge transfer, but where the impact may still to be fully realised, or is hard to quantify.
Collaborative Impact – This award recognises collaborative projects that leverage the intellectual assets of the research base. Types of projects might include research collaborations or consultancy with business or the public sector and/or knowledge transfer projects involving more than one higher education or research institute.
KT Professional of the Year – This award recognises an individual, who has not more than five years experience in a technology/knowledge transfer role.
