Overview

Project status: In progress

This research involves an international comparison of the Queensland Knowledge Transfer System (KTS) and the role of intermediaries in facilitating knowledge transfer and diffusion, innovation and socioeconomic transformation, including in regional and rural firms and communities.

The project’s significance arises from its novel system level approach that spans sectors and regions, and involves international comparison. The international dimension will highlight effective models of knowledge transfer in the UK and Denmark and will generate models of high performing knowledge transfer systems, which can inform public policy.
