What was the project doing?
This project explored how systems underpinning academic career progression could be better aligned to support meaningful engagement with Entrepreneurship & Innovation. It examined the then-current state of play with Aspect partners in terms of recognition, reward, and workload allocation; co-created solutions; and provided recommendations for developing and implementing an enterprise pathway(s).
Why was this needed?
Research had been completed, and findings were prepared for dissemination. Work was underway on a follow-on project.
How could members get involved?
The project received Phase 3 funding from Aspect and shared in the session how members could get involved, including: Interviews with senior stakeholders; Survey of academic staff (in preparation); Focus group with SHAPE researchers (in preparation).
