Corporate Plan 2006 - 2012:
A Statement of Strategic Intent
Enterprise
We will identify and invest selectively in areas of research activity that have the potential to gain international levels of research standing
We will contribute to the national and international knowledge economy and in doing so will engage closely with, and bring benefit to, our students, our staff and employers in our region.
We will establish our position as one of the leading universities in the exploitation of our intellectual assets across the full breadth of our activities. We will create and reward an entrepreneurial culture by developing strong external relationships and the entrepreneurial skills of our staff and students.
Our enterprise ambitions will be achieved through educational programmes, targeted CPD programmes, knowledge exploitation through licensing and spin-outs, knowledge transfer through consultancy, facilities provision, partnerships with external organisations and incentivising and rewarding our staff.
We will seek access to venture capital both locally and in partnership with other universities in the region.
