Knowledge Exchange

Knowledge Exchange in the Humanities at Oxford fosters collaborations with researchers and organisations external to the University. Researchers work alongside businesses, charities, artists and more to bring their research out of the higher education setting to have real-world impact.

TORCH works with the Impact team in the Humanities to support Knowledge Exchange. We help by 'matchmaking' researchers with potential partners, and supporting KE projects with our expertise.

We are keen to speak to organisations from any sector or business to investigate how we could work together to enhance knowledge exchange and create new pathways of working, sharing and generating new commercial opportunities. We are keen to speak to any researchers who are interested in working in KE. Get in touch: torch@humanities.ox.ac.uk
