It’s been a busy month for BU’s Knowledge Exchange and Impact Team and below is a small selection of our activities. If you’d like to find out more about our team and how we can support your research, do get in touch or come and see us (We’re based in Melbury House).

Research Communications

Our new research magazine has been published and is now available to share! It can be found online here and there are a number of print copies available for anyone who wants them – just talk to Rachel Bowen.We also have a partnership with the Conservation, which is a news site designed to support academics to comment on stories in the news, based on their expertise. Beginning of February one of the business editors came down to talk to the Faculty of Management and the health editor will be coming to talk to HSS this month. If you would like to reach a wider audience, make sure to talk to Rachel Bowen or PR team.

Knowledge Exchange (KE) – Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF)

The latest round of HEIF funding is HEIF 5+1+1, and runs from 1 August 2016 until 31 July 2017. There are twelve projects currently live and more information on each project can be found using this link to the BU Research Blog. Subject areas are broad, ranging from forensics to environmental sciences to health apps, musical technologies and virtual sculpting tools. January 2017 marks the half-way stage of this current HEIF funding round with reporting well underway in advance of the next committee meeting in March.

BU submitted to the call for proposals for HEIF 6 . These results are due to be announced by March 2017.HEIF in the media spotlight

HEIF projects continue to be featured in the media including the latest edition of the Bournemouth Research Chronicle (P22/23).

We are currently working with previous RKEO work placement Oliver Cooke (Ollie) as part of his final year project. Ollie is an undergraduate media production student who is developing a number of digital channels including social media, web and video content to showcase the HEIF projects and the HEIF journey at BU. This will form part of his final year assessment. He was part of the Research & Knowledge Exchange Team last year as he was successful in securing a 12 month placement with the department.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

Student Research Assistantship scheme is now live for academic applications. There is a post about the scheme and if you have any questions, make sure to get in touch with Rachel Clarke.

Student engagement

Submissions closed for the Research Photography Competition at the end of January. We’ve seen some fantastic entries this year and voting is now open with the winner being announced at an exhibition on 9 March, in the Atrium Art Gallery.

First of this month 14:Live saw BU students and staff learning more about osteoarthritis and what is ORI currently working on to make a real difference for people suffering from this common form of joint disease. As well as having a chance to hear about the life changing research and work from ORI, attendees were able to test out the Laser Speckle Contrast Imager (LSCI) which is used to visualise blood flow and measure micro circulation just below the skin’s surface. The presentation also included videos of ORI’s specialist equipment and lab which is going to be open for the public during Festival of Learning 2017.

Next 14:Live with FoodSMART is on 28 February.

Public Engagement

This month’s Cafe Scientifique with Dr Sharon Docherty was very popular and seen many new faces. Next month we are back with Dr Darren G. Lilleker and talk about facts and beliefs: ‘It’s just the way it is: ‘ why humans doubt facts if they contrast belief’ – 7th March, Cafe Bosconova at 7:30pm.

We are currently looking for activities for Festival of Learning on-tour event taking place as part of Poole Maritime Festival. There is a blog about this opportunity and if you’re interested please get in touch with Joanna Pawlik.
