Neil Smyth DARTS3 presentation: Engaging with business - innovative industry ...ARLGSW
Engaging with business is important for universities for several reasons: it supports the university strategy, it is important for research council grants and bids, and government policy emphasizes engagement between industry and higher education. Building partnerships with businesses can benefit both parties, with businesses invited to work with the university across all activities. Industry partnerships will continue playing an increasingly important role in research. Librarians supporting research must also engage with business in many ways, from informal to formal interactions, to help conceptualize new research ideas, develop proposals, and identify funding opportunities.
Universities play a key role in developing skilled workers and driving innovation, both of which are important for economic competitiveness. Business leaders recognize the contributions of universities in providing competitive advantages. There are opportunities for mutually beneficial partnerships between industry and universities that can support technological education. Some examples include commissioned research, technology stations, dual appointments of staff between industry and universities, shared capital equipment, and structured training programs. For partnerships to be sustainable, there needs to be a return on investment and clear mutual benefits for both industry and universities.
