Dr Nicky Miller (Director of Knowledge into Practice, CPRL) has been selected in the national competitive application process to be in the evaluation team for the Knowledge Exchange Concordat.
This is a sector led initiative aimed at enhancing and improving knowledge exchange between universities and their wide range of partners including business, public sector, charity/voluntary bodies and local government/national bodies. Evaluators will be formed into groups to evaluate institutional knowledge exchange action plans. The team combines relevant knowledge exchange experience, experience outside of higher education and those who are new to the sector.
“This role provides a great opportunity to apply my understanding of Knowledge Exchange (KE) strategies, principles, best practice and tools to support the embedding of KE behaviours on a national scale which, in turn, will deliver increased organisational effectiveness for the academic sector. I first became interested in KE when I worked at the College of Policing and my interest (including my research interest) has grown since I moved to the OU and became Director of Knowledge into Practice for the Centre for Policing Research and Learning. I am motivated by a keen desire to contribute to influencing the development of a culture of continuous improvement for universities in KE. Furthermore, taking on this role will allow me (and the OU) to develop a dynamic knowledge base on ‘what works’ in KE, which can create synergies with research and teaching. I look forward to motivating and inspiring others to want to be actively engaged with this." Dr Nicky Miller
