A focused symposium for Knowledge Transfer Professionals

A session designed to help Knowledge Transfer professionals make informed decisions about AI—from how to commercialise and govern it to understanding its institutional implications—and with AI, by exploring how to use it effectively in daily KTO practice.

The event brings together three interconnected themes:

  • Practical AI implementation in KTO operations – Exploring the effective use of AI tools in day-to-day KTO workflows, with practical approaches and direct applicability to professional practice.
  • The strategic future of AI in KTOs – Reflecting on how AI is reshaping Knowledge Transfer Offices and considering where the sector is heading over the next 3–5 years.
  • Commercialising AI-based research and innovation – A focused half-day examining the commercialisation of AI-driven research outputs and the evolving responsibilities of universities and R&D organisations in an era of AI-driven science.

    Together, these three elements provide a practical and strategic perspective on how AI is transforming Knowledge Transfer—equipping professionals with the insights, tools and perspectives needed to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.

    Who should attend

    Middle and senior management of Knowledge Transfer Offices—including team leaders, Heads of KTO, and KTO Directors—who are responsible for making strategic decisions about how their offices adopt, integrate, and respond to AI, both as a tool for their own operations and as an increasingly important part of their knowledge transfer portfolio.
