Alice Frost, Director of Knowledge Exchange at Research England, discusses the UK’s knowledge economy and the dark art of getting innovative ideas out of higher education to create real-world impact.  How well is the UK doing in this field? Alice explains her obsession with evidence, avoiding “wifty wafty” stakeholder engagement, and how the UK’s academic research and development achievements translate into £billions of pounds for the UK economy. If you are interested in the current debate on the wholesale reform of how universities think about their spin out and licencing strategies, this podcast is for you.  Produced by Emilia Rolewicz Executive Producer Sam Steele  Theme music generated by AI @ www.dsoundraw.io Links UK Research England website UK Research England (UKRI)  Alice Frost LinkedIn  CebAI: twitter LinkedIn Website email  DesignSparks  SportSparks  Business-Sparks  Hosted on Acast.
