• face to face discussions with the Principal Investigators to explore knowledge transfer issues using the experience of SUE PI's and their researchers.
• hosted events in September 2007 and November 2008 to enable researchers to exchange their views and experience of good practice in research dissemination
• case studies of KT Practice at a consortia level to build KT Maps
• Understanding the perspectives of the SUE researchers in relation to KE
• Understanding types of outputs generated by SUE
• Understanding the needs and perspectives of practitioners & policy makers in relation to acquisition of new knowledge
ISSUES: Understanding the KE Landscape
Understanding types of outputs generated by SUE
