Important results from the project
The project aimed at enhancing the capacity of Swedish universities to cooperate and take societal responsibility, by enabling more utilisation and impact from efforts made at universities, without having to increase the amount of funding, to increase the quality of education and research and to ensure the universities´ future ability to conduct their operations without being restricted by intellectual property obstacles. A main purpose has been for lessons learned from the KMP-program to be implemented in the higher education institutions.
Expected long term effects
The overall objective of the project has been to develop the capacity of Swedish universities for creating value for society by implementing practical and applicable methods of identifying, valuing and utilizing knowledge assets. We have worked towards these goals on both a operational- and strategic level. On the operational level we worked with competence development, pilot projects and exchanging experiences. On the leadership level we developed supporting tools for organizational development.
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out in seven workpackages. It started with an analysis of the current status of participating universities - used to specify how the project could support the universities’ needs and define suitable implementation mechanisms to achieve lasting effects. Initially focus was on competence development, pilot implementations and knowledge exchange. Then, focus was put on development of the universities’ organizational capabilities and packaging of tools in a digital platform.
