WE'RE RESEARCHING AND BUILDING A BRAND NEW TOOLKIT
It's our ambition to improve knowledge exchange outcomes for students, academics and collaborators
Get involved in shaping and testing a brand new toolkit of resources for student engagement in knowledge exchange (SEKE).
At the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú, we prioritise and value embedding knowledge exchange in our curriculum.
Within our curriculum, SEKE includes lots of different activities where research, knowledge and ideas are shared between academics, students and external organisations such as local businesses, to everyone's benefit.
These include things like:
- our Business Consultancy Project
- our accounting and legal clinics
- our Centre for Creative and Immersive Extended Reality
- the Entrepreneurs in Residence programme
- a wide range of courses that include SEKE components, such as MA Interior Architecture and Design
Project aims
The Creative Students Creating Business (CSCB) project is focused on researching effective SEKE and developing a web-based toolkit of good-practice guidance and online learning to enhance impact.
This toolkit will be freely available to SEKE students and practitioners in business and higher education.
Our ambition is to:
- research and report on good practice SEKE across the university
- create an interactive online toolkit
- engage with 600+ students
- engage with 200+ academics and external organisations who are involved in SEKE
Get involved
If you're a business or organisation that's involved in SEKE projects, or an academic (from ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú or beyond) we'd love to hear from you. We're particularly keen to hear from people who are involved in the areas of business, law or creative industries, or if you've had past experience of a SEKE project here at the University.
