Knowledge transfers between research consortium, higher education institution and world of work

Abstract

One of the important functions of higher education institution is to contribute of knowledge transfers and research and development (R&D) related continuums between international research consortium, higher education institution, world of work, and government policy. In this study, knowledge transfers and R&D related continuums for high-value impacts in externally funded research, such as research consortiums related new knowledge creation and dissemination were addressed as interest and innovation promoter, and thus as activate force to regional-national-global developers. This study explores how knowledge was transferred to the realizations of study units in higher education institution and how participators of research consortium influence to the knowledge transfer and continuums in R&D processes. First the research was examined to understand towards that what kind of knowledge affect knowledge transfer in the externally funded R&D projects and through participators which mobilize a new knowledge and competence achievements in practice. This study revises author's earlier studies, innovation trigger and enabler analyses, research consortium process analyses, and R&D related learning process analysis in the perspective of knowledge transfers.
