dc.description.abstract | This article explores the experiences generated through a programme of engaged
research with university–society partnerships focused on businesses, climate
change impacts and environmental technologies. The programme was co-created
through research and development collaborations between a university, several
large organizations, including the Met Office, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Regen
SW and IBM, and ten small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Through a
critically reflective narrative account and two case studies, which represent the
perspectives of all involved, this article considers the processes of engagement,
their effectiveness, the outcomes delivered and recommendations, as well as the
context and influence of European policy – represented by the ‘business assist’
(BA) model – on creating engaged research. The co-creation of mutually beneficial
space emerged as a key success factor, which challenged the short-term focus of
the BA model. | en_GB |
