Simplification/Greater Innovation. “In partnership with Enterprise Agencies and Interface… at a national level made use of their sectoral knowledge to promote greater innovation in the economy (including beyond non-STEM)”. Aberdeen contributed to the collaborative workshop held in 17/18 led by the University of St Xxxxxxx. A number of key themes arose including increasing the number of innovation events held at regional levels to build networks, increase common goals and understanding within sectors, and enable challenge based workshops. The University is currently refreshing its Industrial Engagement Strategy ensuring that it meets the needs of all of its researchers and of industry, responding to the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy and the collaborative programme within the UIF. We expect the revised strategy to be launched in AY18/19. Aberdeen has evidenced our commitment to engaging and collaborating with other universities and the enterprise agencies through our partnership approach in ARCD, but also our ongoing commitment to the long standing partnership of the North East of Scotland Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) centre and the renewed commitment in the Offshore Renewal Institute (ORI). The KTP centre which is hosted between Aberdeen and RGU now includes the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Institute, Abertay University, University of Highlands and Islands and SRUC. As the numbers have seen a decline in some industries (e.g. Oil and Gas), there has been an increase in business, management and food and drink associated with the centre. An MRC Proximity to Discovery award supports people exchange in 2017/18 to support our engagement with the life science industrial sector and cluster development as part of ARCD (PA3). We will continue our staff development activities, providing in-house training to staff and extending to external training and conferences as required (PA4).
