The Research and Knowledge Exchange (RKE) Framework: Working with Business pathway focuses on developing interactions with a business audience. Please see previous blog posts in the Development Framework for information on the separate pathways.
The aim of the ‘Working with Business’ pathway is to develop your skills to connect with the business community including networking, identifying project funding – including Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) and building project teams involving businesses. Sessions have been planned with these key areas as a focus.
Further information on this pathway will appear on the OD website including booking links over the summer. Updates on this pathway and the wider RKE Development Framework will appear on the BU research blog.
