PraxisAuril is working with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) on the crucial update of the Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) Guide. Originally launched in 2011, this guide is being revised and will be renamed the Knowledge Asset Management (KAM) Guide to better reflect its focus on the assets created through university research and innovation.

PraxisAuril, the UK's professional association for knowledge exchange practitioners, announced at their annual conference that the organisation will rebrand to Knowledge Exchange UK.

As many PraxisAuril members will know, HESA has issued its final consultation on proposed changes to the HE-BCI survey. As well as changes to HE-BCI this consultation also asks for feedback on plans for a one-off collection of spinout data, in order to produce a more robust UK data set with reduced burden in the longer-term (pertaining to Table 4).

The Knowledge Exchange Concordat provides a comprehensive and supportive framework for increasing the effectiveness of knowledge exchange and the development year has encouraged innovation, reflection, improvement and collaboration in knowledge exchange activities. To build on this success, ensure future sustainability for the KEC and to enhance its developmental impact, the KEC Strategy Group has agreed that the KEC will be led across the UK by PraxisAuril, the professional body for knowledge exchange from April 2024.
