Knowledge Transfer
Within The University of Melbourne, the traditional academic tasks of research and teaching have been expanded to include the key strand of Knowledge Transfer. This strand recognises the full range of benefits which a world-renowned University generates when it works in partnership with business, government and community to address issues of local, national and global significance. The contribution of staff in the Artistic and Creative Education cluster to Knowledge Transfer is characterised by its reputation for excellence and quality, building as it does strong, resilient relationships with the wider educational community and society at large.
Knowledge exchange and transfer happens naturally and organically through Arts and Education: teaching, research and knowledge transfer are closely interwoven in our theoretical and practical work.
The range of Knowledge transfer activities represented here:
- generate intellectual capital in ways that mutually benefit the Graduate School and the external partners with which it engages
- are deeply embedded within the Graduate School teaching and research activities
- are characterised by their responsiveness and relevance to international, social, economic, environmental and cultural issues.
