Knowledge Transfer at the University

Knowledge Transfer recognises the two-way flow and uptake of ideas between the University of Melbourne and the broader community.

The role of universities is changing. They are no longer exclusive knowledge habitats, they are access points. In this climate, it is imperative that they develop strong bilateral relationships with government, business and the community and become increasingly visible, relevant and accessible to society's changing needs. 

Knowledge Transfer:

• creates intellectual capital in ways that mutually benefit the University and its external partners
• is linked to the University’s teaching and research activities
• responds to global, social, economic, environmental and cultural issues
