Professor Andrew Watkinson gave an interesting presentation here at LEC yesterday outlining the objectives and breadth of scope of the \u00a0– a collaboration of 20 UK partner organisations (across business, government departments and their delivery agencies and 6 Research Councils) that fund, undertake and use environmental research.<\/p>\n
He focused on Knowledge Exchange as being a crucial part of the Programme and the need for innovative high quality research being essential to drive the process. The LWEC model spanning so many project partners across so many key functions seems a good one (in theory) for promoting effective knowledge exchange \u00a0and one that CCN also supports. These partnerships and Networks certainly create opportunities and incentives that can increase the flow, value and impact of academic research to the wider non-academic, public and private sectors.<\/p>\n
But-how do we evaluate the impact and success of these large Knowledge Exchange partnerships from both a user \u00a0and academic perspective? \u00a0How do we evaluate their impact on policy and practice when lag times may be 10\u2019s of years? \u00a0What are the metrics we should use? \u00a0\u00a0Are Case Study type \u2018success stories\u2019 enough? \u2026\u2026any thoughts\u2026.
