Taking KE forward
“The aim of the ISSUES team is to ensure that the value of the research work carried out by the SUE consortia is understood, appreciated and used by practitioners and other end-users”
• Understanding the perspectives of the SUE researchers in relation to KE
• Understanding types of outputs generated by SUE
• Understanding the needs and perspectives of practitioners & policy makers in relation to acquisition of new knowledge
ISSUES: Understanding the KE Landscape
Understanding the perspectives of the SUE researchersHow?
• face to face discussions with the Principal Investigators to explore knowledge transfer issues using the experience of SUE PI's and their researchers.
• hosted events in September 2007 and November 2008 to enable researchers to exchange their views and experience of good practice in research dissemination
• case studies of KT Practice at a consortia level to build KT Maps
Improving KE through the whole research cycle
• Understanding the perspectives of the SUE researchers in relation to KE
• Understanding types of outputs generated by SUE
• Understanding the needs and perspectives of practitioners & policy makers in relation to acquisition of new knowledge
ISSUES: Understanding the KE Landscape
Understanding types of outputs generated by SUE
• compiled, summarised and categorized all outputs from SUE 1 consortia and ongoing outputs from SUE 2
• categorised spread of dissemination activities undertaken by consortia, and their distribution across the spectrum from ‘academic-oriented’ to ‘practitioner and policy-maker oriented’.

• produced distilled summaries of the outputs from completed SUE Consortia.
• Created short articles about each and published in trade/public policy press/newsletters etc. (see scrap book)
