Knowledge Impacts Network (KIN): Are Ethics Processes for Cultural Knowledge Exchange Fit for Purpose? limited places remaining
Wednesday 25 January, 16:00 - online
This session of KIN will focus on demystifying higher education ethics processes and considering if current practice is fit for purpose, particularly for work that is socially engaged or aiming to generate social impact. We will also consider the evaluation of community-based collaborations and citizen research, and how such work can be ethically and equitably evaluated, and impacts shared.
We will share examples of best practices across higher education and the arts and cultural sector, explore the deficits between ethics processes and ethics / values informed work and share examples of good practice as well as hopefully some useful tools for considering ethics in cultural knowledge exchange.
Confirmed speakers include: Dr Astrid Breel, Sian Brittain, Dr Jo Gibson, Gill Henderson and Sarah Priston.

NCACE Evidence Café 8: Reflections on REF 2021
Thursday 23 February, 14:00 - online
NCACE’s Evidence Café sessions have been held regularly since March 2021. The café is an online space for presentations, evidence and information sharing, story-telling as well as a community of knowledge sharing and exchange.
The focus for February 2023 Evidence café will be on REF 2021 Impact Case Studies. The REF Impact Case Studies provide a very comprehensive resource in order to understand what kind of impact is generated by academic research, and how. It also allows the opportunity to delve into more specific questions, such as the extent to which academic research relating to arts and culture generates impact, and the extent to which the impact of academic research involves the arts and culture sector.
In addition to some wider reflections on the impact case studies, we will be presenting some of the initial findings from our overview of arts and culture-related impact in REF 2021. We will be discussing: where (by which Unit of Assessment, types of institutions, regions) arts and culture-related impact was produced; where arts and culture-related impact occurred; which organisational features underpinned the production of arts and culture-related impact; as well as the implications of these findings for HEIs, the arts and culture sector, and policy.
Our contributors include:
Dr Federica Rossi (CIMR, Birkbeck University of London and NCACE Co-Investigator), Dr Steven Hill (Director of Research, Research England) and Professor Maria Delgado (Vice Principal (Research and Knowledge Exchange), Royal Central School of Speech and Drama) and will be co-hosted by Evelyn Wilson (Co-Director, NCACE) and Dr Laura Kemp (Senior Manager, NCACE). Alongside presentations there will be opportunity for group discussion.
The Power of Collaborative Action III: Leading the Future of Cultural Knowledge Exchange
Wednesday 8 March 2023, 10:00 - online
NCACE is delighted to present The Power of Collaborative Action III: Leading the Future of Cultural Knowledge Exchange. Funded by Research England, NCACE was established in 2021 to facilitate and support capacity for Knowledge Exchange between Higher Education and the arts and cultural sector across the country with a particular focus on evidencing and showcasing the social, cultural, environmental, as well as the economic, impacts of such activities.
The Power of Collaborative Action is our annual workshop devoted to supporting and showcasing great examples of collaboration between Higher Education and the arts and cultural sectors.
This event will focus on the leadership of cross sector collaborations, showcasing inspiring examples of good practice, anchoring purpose and shared values in knowledge exchange and addressing mutual concerns and priorities. We will also be exploring the co-creation of modes of shared leadership and innovative practices and platforming those who are leading by “action rather than title”.
Offering reflections from key thinkers, practitioners and policy makers and showcasing diverse models of excellent and impactful knowledge exchange, The Power of Collaborative Action III will be of interest to all those who are invested in the potential of knowledge exchange between the academy and the arts and cultural sector. It will also be instructive for those who are interested in such activity and wish to find out more.
We are delighted that Professor Dame Jessica Corner, Executive Chair of Research England will be giving the opening keynote address.
If you would like to put forward a case study of excellent leadership practice in the field of cultural knowledge exchange for inclusion in the showcase, please email a short precis (of circa 200 words) to Noshin@tcce.co.uk by 20th January 2023 and we will be in touch for further discussion.
