Knowledge exchange. The Participants recognise that it is of mutual interest to exchange general information relating to their respective fields of competence, including in the context of trainings, conferences and workshops. Either Participant may invite staff members of the other Participant on a case-by-case basis to join such a knowledge exchange session. Each Participant will cover its own expenses incurred in relation to such sessions. Any confidential information that may be exchanged in this context falls under the scope and be governed by the principles mentioned in Paragraph 13. Paragraph 16
Knowledge exchange. Within the consortium and with stakeholders from outside the consortium the lessons learnt will be shared. This includes establishing best practices and recommendations for other AHMSSBL institutions. It also includes the efforts of the network organizations to investigate whether they can include the EQUAL4EUROPE project results in their accreditation framework and standards.
Knowledge exchange. The Open University in Scotland receives baseline funding from the Scottish Funding Council for its knowledge exchange activity which includes conferences, lectures and workshops. However The OU also engages in significant non-income generating knowledge exchange in Scotland, such as the development and provision of informal learning, at a much higher level than the baseline knowledge exchange grant. Under the current metrics such activity cannot be acknowledged or rewarded. It remains our intention to work with the SFC to have the benefits of such knowledge exchange activity recognised. The OpenScience Laboratory is an online laboratory for practical science teaching which was launched by The Open University with support from The Xxxxxxx Foundation. The laboratory brings interactive practical science to students anywhere and anytime the internet is available. The laboratory features investigations based on on-screen instruments, remote access experiments and virtual scenarios using real data. Working with the Opening Educational Practices in Scotland project, we have been piloting the use of OpenScience Lab in a small number of Scottish secondary schools. Knowledge exchange: case study SFC Aim 6: University- industry collaboration – deliver a step-change in the engagement of business and industry with universities, removing any barriers to the exploitation of research for economic and wider societal benefit SFC Outcomes
Knowledge exchange. The parties shall exchange general information related to each authority’s area of expertise, including crisis and scenario exercises, conferences, seminars and working groups. An authority may invite employees from the other authorities to take part in various contexts, aimed at knowledge exchange.
Knowledge exchange. The Open University in Scotland welcomes receipt of the Scottish Funding Council’s Universities Innovation Fund (UIF) Platform Grant in 2016-17. We will utilise the Platform Grant to build on our core knowledge exchange and innovation activities, continue to support our programme of cultural engagement and to support the development of informal learning activities to have impact at both a national and global level. In the period 2016-17, we will also scope areas of future work where we are able to support the agreed national UIF priorities particularly to enhance our work on employer engagement and to promote entrepreneurial opportunities to our students. As part of its cultural engagement programme, The OU in Scotland supports a number of lectures and events at book festivals, arts festivals and science festivals across Scotland. Our current programme includes the Wigtown Book Festival, a series of events at the Xxxxxxxx Campus, the Dumfries & Xxxxxxxx Arts Festival, the Ullapool Book Festival, ‘Bloody Scotland’ in Stirling, ‘Aye Write’ in Glasgow, North Lanarkshire’s Cultural Encounter Festival, the New Lanark Book Festival and the St Magnus Festival in Orkney with our ‘flagship’ event being the Edinburgh International Book Festival where we have developed a strong partnership over a number of years. Our cultural engagement programme in Scotland complements our ambition of delivering journeys from informal to formal learning as we deliver or support events which are relevant to our curriculum or BBC collaborations and which can provide a pathway to particular modules/qualifications. Knowledge exchange case study: SIPR The Open University in Scotland is delighted to have joined the Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR). SIPR is a strategic collaboration between 13 of Scotland’s universities and the Scottish police service supported by investment from Police Scotland, the Scottish Police Authority, the Scottish Funding Council and the participating universities. The key aims are: • To undertake high quality, independent, and relevant research; • To support knowledge exchange between researchers and practitioners and improve the research evidence base for policing policy and practice; • To expand and develop the research capacity in Scotland’s universities and the police service; • To promote the development of national and international links with researcher, practitioner and policy communities. SIPR is an interdisciplinary Institute which brings...

Knowledge exchange. In line with our commitment to the collaborative sharing of best practice within the field of Widening Participation, we will continue to contribute to UK, European and International knowledge exchange and research conferences. In the UK we are active members of NEON and have been invited to join the Laser Awards’ Access Quality and Development Committee. National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP) The Sussex Learning Network is the coordinating body for NCOP in Sussex, the acronym is SLN-COP. SLN-NCOP institutions include all three HEIs and all FE Colleges in Sussex, East Surrey College, both County Councils and the Careers and Enterprise Company. The group have adopted a localised model that divides Sussex into east and west and is focussed on the universities collaborating and integrating activity with FE Colleges. The West Sussex Partnership is formed of Chichester College, Central Sussex College and the University of Chichester. The Operating Plan falls into three distinct projects: accessibility, outreach and information, advice and guidance. The intention is for Chichester College to oversee the day-to day operational plan, as many NCOP learners are existing Further Education students or new Further Education applicants. The steering group, comprising Director of SLN, NCOP Programme Managers, senior leads from the partnering institutions and the two newly appointed Student Outreach and Engagement Officers, meet monthly to monitor progress against targets. Schools and colleges Teachers, FE staff and careers advisers are the key influencers when it comes to supporting young people into Further and Higher Education. The WP team offers support to teachers and careers advisers in our partner schools and colleges with a range of focused activities. A series of INSET training sessions Programme-specific training to individuals or groups of teachers UCAS processes Student Finance system in conjunction with Student Finance England Annual conference for partner schools, teachers and staff involved in widening participation Provision of relevant information, advice and guidance that can be used to explain the options available to students.
