In this informal and discursive event, we will briefly interrogate differences between knowledge exchange and knowledge transfer before moving to consider the evolution of knowledge exchange practice and policy over the last 10-15 years in Higher Education.

We will share experiences, and examples of best practice and also explore the potential future of KE in HE, and in particular how it can develop to meet current sectoral and societal challenges, acting as a driver for increased research collaboration and impact.
