Effective technology transfer is highly challenging. It requires an understanding of technical matters in areas such as Intellectual Property and commercial licence agreements, a strong business sense as well as an ability to manage relationships with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders.
This course aims to equip those at the start of their career in KE with the fundamental knowledge and skills to embark on this process. A key driver for the creation of this course is to provide the KE sector with a gold standard foundational course on technology transfer.
Tas Gohir, (he/him), Senior IP and Commercial Research Manager, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust considers the business critical role of Inclusion, Diversity, Equality and Accessibility (IDEA) for TTOs. IDEA is no longer an optional activity.

No one can deny that Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, Accessibility (IDEA) is a hot topic right now. Indeed, recognising its importance, #PrAConf22 hosted a stream solely dedicated to IDEA and I was fortunate enough to participate as a panellist on the discussion 'Accelerating Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within KE: how we can transform how we work for more inclusive and innovative outcomes'.
Although it may seem like a distant memory, #PrAConf22 lives on! VisitBrighton reflect on the impact that the PraxisAuril Conference has made on the town.
Way back in 2019 in those beautifully care-free, pre-Covid days, an Event Manager from PraxisAuril wandered (mask & sanitiser-free) through The Meetings Show in its old home of London Olympia. She chatted to me on our stunning (and award winning!) stand about potentially holding their annual conference in Brighton.
Maximising the green energy generated from wastewater is the focus of an innovative new project by Northumbrian Water Group (NWG) and Newcastle University, as part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership.
The collaboration will help further optimise the operation of Northumbrian Water’s treatment processes, converting biogas from wastewater into biomethane, a renewable energy that can be sold and injected back into the gas grid.
What is KEVRI?
If you're wondering what the word KEVRI means, it translates from the Cornish language as 'contribute'. KEVRI the company, however, is a digital start-up that supports universities and their academic staff to capture and showcase their Lnowledge Exchange contributions.
