KnowledgeLondon Good Practice

KnowledgeLondon is all about helping Knowledge Transfer practitioners share good practice to improve their professional skills. We'll be working closely with national initiatives to make sure that the views of London's knowledge transfer community are reflected and supported with relevant activities.

Nationally, HEFCE and OSI have sponsored a good practice programme to gather and disseminate examples of good practice from HEIs around the country. See http://www.kegoodpractice.org/ for more details.

KnowledgeLondon regularly publishes good practice case studies. The latest case studies are shown below.
