Key Message

‘Throughout all the changes it has experienced, knowledge
exchange and dissemination has always been at the very
core of the Regional Studies Association’s activities. Indeed ...
it has operated as a site of exchange between academics
from different disciplines, universities and countries and also
between the academic and practitioner worlds.’
James Hopkins, Manchester University, UK (2011)

Knowledge Exchange I
Social Capital and the RSA
“Learned societies’ core activities of publishing and meetings have a
common element – they link researchers and, potentially, users of
research together. Other activities such as awarding prizes, recognising
achievement and maintaining disciplinary identity allow individuals to
recognise and evaluate the work of others. It is through these activities
that learned societies facilitate interaction by building and sustaining
connections, relationships and access to other individuals and
knowledge.”
(Hopkins 2011, pg 59-60)
Knowledge Exchange II
Information may be facts or understood data
Knowledge is to do with flexible and adaptable skills
Knowledge sharing - scholarly publications and
presentations
Knowledge transfer – formal training, provision of advice
Knowledge exchange - two-way exchange of ideas and
information
Knowledge Exchange III

Three influential factors which affect a societies capability in knowledge
exchange –
 Purpose – does the society see knowledge exchange as a core aim?
 Capacity – does it have the resource (people/time/financial) to
engage in it?
 Relationships with other bodies and individuals such as
government departments, supra-national bodies, think tanks,
professional associations, publishing companies etc
Drawn from Developing Dialogue Report (2008)
Policy Engagement I


Captured in RSA aims and objects

Launch of Brazil’s Candidacy to host the 2014 Global Conference of the Regional Studies Association / Sally Hardy Chief Executive Regional Studies Association

  • 1. Launch of Brazil’s Candidacy to host the 2014 Global Conference of the Regional Studies Association 19th March 2013 Sally Hardy Chief Executive Regional Studies Association www.regionalstudies.org sally.hardy@regionalstudies.org
  • 2. Key Message ‘Throughout all the changes it has experienced, knowledge exchange and dissemination has always been at the very core of the Regional Studies Association’s activities. Indeed ... it has operated as a site of exchange between academics from different disciplines, universities and countries and also between the academic and practitioner worlds.’ James Hopkins, Manchester University, UK (2011)
  • 4. Knowledge Exchange I Social Capital and the RSA “Learned societies’ core activities of publishing and meetings have a common element – they link researchers and, potentially, users of research together. Other activities such as awarding prizes, recognising achievement and maintaining disciplinary identity allow individuals to recognise and evaluate the work of others. It is through these activities that learned societies facilitate interaction by building and sustaining connections, relationships and access to other individuals and knowledge.” (Hopkins 2011, pg 59-60)
  • 5. Knowledge Exchange II Information may be facts or understood data Knowledge is to do with flexible and adaptable skills Knowledge sharing - scholarly publications and presentations Knowledge transfer – formal training, provision of advice Knowledge exchange - two-way exchange of ideas and information
  • 6. Knowledge Exchange III Three influential factors which affect a societies capability in knowledge exchange –  Purpose – does the society see knowledge exchange as a core aim?  Capacity – does it have the resource (people/time/financial) to engage in it?  Relationships with other bodies and individuals such as government departments, supra-national bodies, think tanks, professional associations, publishing companies etc Drawn from Developing Dialogue Report (2008)
  • 7. Policy Engagement I  Captured in RSA aims and objects “to promote education in the field of regional studies by the exchange of ideas and information and to stimulate and aid studies and research and disseminate the results of such research”  Embedded in our governance structures –  Board members  RSA Research Committee  RSA Publications Committee  Territory, Politics, Governance Policy Advisory Board
