Knowledge Exchange Performance and the Impact of HEIF in the English Higher Education Sector

Knowledge exchange (KE) activity generated £2.68 billion for English higher education institutions (HEIs) in 2011/12. Income from this type of activity continues to grow, albeit at a slower rate since the onset of the severe economic recession than previously. The aggregate growth rate has fallen over the period 2004-2008 from 6.6% per annum to 3.3% per annum (excluding the effects of the wind-down of the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs)).
