1 Introduction 2 Revamped Mission and Vision of KTO
HongKongBaptistUniversity (“HKBU”or “theUniversity”)hasa long tradition intransferring its researchandexpertise forthebettermentof thecommunityat large.HKBUiscommittedtoestablishknowledgetransfer(KT)asthethirdpillar in thecoreactivities of theUniversity as stated initsUniversityStrategicPlan2009. Withthe earmarked funding fromUniversityGrantCommittee (“UGC”) since 2009,KnowledgeTransferOffice (“KTO”)hasbeen theexecutiveunit tocultivateaKT-richcultureatHKBUand ischargedwithresponsibilities tocoordinateeffortsof theUniversity in transferringknowledgetothebroadercommunity.
KTOstartedmany initiativesto further theincorporationofKTatHKBU in2011/12.This report provides comprehensiveupdatesonKTO’soperationandinitiativesin the past year, and outl ines KTO’splans in thecomingyears. Performanceindicatorsof theUniversityarereported intheAppendicesandthefinancial report isprovidedasasupplementinsert.
KTOappointed its first full-timeHead in2011 (In the past,KTO staff has beendirectlysupervisedbyanAssociateVice-President). Under this fresh boost ofleadership, KTO repositioned itself intheUniversitycommunityand revised itsMissionandVisiontofurtherstrengthenitsresolution insupportof theVision2020ofHKBU.

3 Operational Goals of KTO
To translate the Mission and Visioninto action andwith the aim to furtherincorporateandfacilitateKTdevelopmentatHKBU,KTO’soperationand initiativesinthepastyearhavebeenevolvedaroundthefollowingoperationalgoals:
1. Consolidate strengths and harness opportunities
2. Reach out to internal and external communities
3. Manage and nurture knowledge capitals and KT initiatives
4. Quality Assurance – ensure impact of KT endeavours
3.1 Consolidate Strengths and Harness Opportunities
Consolidating strengths for knowledgetransfer is necessary forKT to flourishatHKBU. Knowledgecapitalsmustbeidentified forHKBU tomapoutstrategicdirectionsandseizefutureKTopportunities.KnowledgeTransferPartnershipprojectsare flagship initiativeswhereprojectsaredevelopedbasedon identifiedstrengthsofHKBUandsuccessfully implementedthrough establishing and harnessingcollaborationopportunitieswithcommunitypartners.
KTO also recognises that supportiveKT policies need to be put in place toacknowledgeandawardthosewhoactivelyengage inKTactivities,hence, tobetterenable incorporation of KT at HKBU.Withwell-developed institutionalpolicy inplace,weanticipateasignificant increaseamongacademicstaffandstudents inKTactivities.
KnowledgeDatabaseKnowledgeDatabase is a succinct andinformativedigital infrastructuredeveloped
byKTO to consolidate the knowledgecapitals of HKBU. This central ised,searchableonlinedatabase ishostedonKTOwebsite (http://kto.hkbu.edu.hk)andcontains researchareasandexpertiseoffacultymembersatHKBU. KnowledgeDatabase iscrucial forKTOto link theseknowledge capitals to theneeds in thebroadercommunity.
TheKnowledgeDatabasefeaturingSchoolofChineseMedicine isbeingpopulatedsince2011/12. KTOplanstoexpandthisdatabase to includeall facultymembers(with theirpermission) in thenext year.KTOwillalsoutilisemetadatatoraisetherankingof theKnowledgeDatabaseonmajorsearchengines.
The KTP Seed Fund was set up inJuly 2010 and is currently providingfunding support to KTP projects on acompetitivebasis. During the reportingyear,sevenprojectswerefundedandfiveprojects funded inprevious yearswerecompleted. Oneoutof these12projectswas interdisciplinary. ThreeprojectsareselectedandpresentedascasenarrativesinChapter4 (seep.11). TheseselectedcasenarrativeseachrepresentoneprojectfromtheArtsandHumanitiesdiscipline–English, theSciencediscipline–ChineseMedicine, and the inter-discipl ine ofReligionandVisualArts.

StandardisedKTPSeedFundProcedureandGuidelinesOnKT enabling policy front, KTOhasalsoachievedmuch in thepastyear. AstheKTPSeedFundmatures,competitivefunding became necessary to ensurethatbestqualityprojectsare funded. Toensuresmoothoperation,KTOdevelopedstandardisedapplicationprocedureandfundingguidelineswith three roundsofapplicationscheduledeachyear. Holisticand analytic assessment rubricsweredeveloped to facilitate theKnowledgeTransferCommittee’s(“KTC”)evaluation.

AdministrativeGuidelinesfortheProtectionofIntellectualPropertyRightsI n Sep t embe r 2011 , KTO r e v i s edtheAdministrative Guidelines for the Protection of Intellectual Property RightsatHKBU. The revisedguideline is thefirstdocument thatclearlydefinesscopeof different intellectual property rights(IPRs), owner of IPRs under varioussituations,andoperationalguidelines forthecommercialisationofIPRsatHKBU.
Non-DisclosureAgreementforKTOstaffDueto thenatureofKTO’swork in IPRs,confidentiality remains a key concernatKTO. This isparticularly important inpatenting,where theslightestdisclosureof the inventioncouldcausean inventiontoloseitsnovelty,henceapatentbecomeinvalid.
All staff ofKTOhave signeda blanketNon-DisclosureAgreement wi th theUniversity to ensure that any potentialIPRsdisclosed toKTOare treatedwiththestrictestconfidentiality. KTOstaff istrained toproperlyprocess confidentialinformation indailyoperation. Simplebutimportant practices, suchas shreddingusedsensitivedocumentsandencryptingconfidentialemails,arenownormsatKTO.Furthermore, staff ofKTOhas receivedtrainingonprivacyandbestpractice inhandlingpersonalinformationatHKBU.
3.2 Reach out to Internal and External Communities
Act ively and widely reaching out toboth internal andexternal communitiesis essential forKTO to becomea trulyeffectiveandsupportivebridgebetweenHKBUandthecommunityat largeandtomakemeaningfulKTactivitiespossible.KTOhasdevotedmuchof itseffort tothisarea.

StandardisedPatentApplicationProcedureAspartofpatentmanagementatHKBU,KTOhasdevelopedand implementedastandardisedpatentapplicationprocedureforHKBUalongwith two standardisedforms:aPreliminaryDisclosureofInventionFormandan InventionDisclosureForm.This standardised procedure requirescareful documentation of the inventionincludinginformationrequiredtodeterminetheownershipoftheIPRs.AsillustratedinAppendix2, it intendstogiveresearchersstepbystepguidelinesininitiatingapatentapplicationatHKBU.
StandardisedPatentAuditProcedureMaintenance of patents can be costly.Regularaudit of patents is aneffectivemeanstodeterminewhetherapatentisstillofcommercialinteresttotheUniversity.Asshown inAppendix3,astandardisedandmanageablepatentauditprocedurewasthusdevelopedbyKTO.

ThiswillallowtheUniversitytokeephigh-valuepatentswhile lowering thecostofpatentmaintenancebyabandoningtheonesthatareno longerof commercial interest toHKBU.

Therefore,
Against thisrationale,KTOhasdevelopeda Research Logbook for all researchstudentsand facultymembersofHKBU.The logbook isdeveloped inconsultationwith academic units, and it is a usefultool forproperdocumentationofdetailedprogress and important events of anintellectualpropertyduring itscourseofdevelopment. The logbook isscheduledfordistributioninSeptember2012.
3.4 Quality Assurance – Ensure Impact of KT Endeavours
QualityAssurance isat theheartofeveryactivityatKTO.KTOhasbegunreviewingbothqualitativeandquantitative literaturestodesignandimplementacomprehensiveQualityAssuranceschemewithareflectivecycleof “plan,do, review,andact”. It isonly throughrigorousandregularreviewsthat KTO can assess impact of eachactivity, ensure its effectiveness, andextractinvaluableexperiencetherefrom.
Whi le techno logy t rans fe r impac tsaremore readilymeasurable throughproduct popularity and sales volume,KT in non-technology areas, however,doesnotalwaysyield tangibleandeasilymeasurable outcomes. Furthermore,impactassessment forKTprojectshasyet todevelop intoamaturescience. Insomeprojects, therelativesmallnumbersofparticipants(n≤200)andthedifficultyinconductingpre-andpost-testsalsoposemanychallenges.
KTO has spent some cons iderab leeffort intodevelopingstructured impactassessmentframeworkforKTPprojectsinthereportingyear.

Concurrent to the second phase, BIBcontributed to thewebsite ImprovisedGameFormats for theClassroom(http://net3.hkbu.edu.hk/~lianhee/IGFManual/).Most o f the webs i te ’s content wasdevelopedduringthecourseofthisproject.Thesiteprovidesinformationonimprovisedcomedy as well as valuablematerialfor communication skills and linguisticawareness training through improvisedcomedyforpublicuse.
Project ImpactAnimpactassessmentforthisprojectwasconductedandtheresultsshowedthatthisprojecthadmadesignificantimpactsinthefollowingGraduateAttributesofHKBU:knowledge, teamwork, communication,creativity, and lifelong learning. A totalof 269 questionnaireswere collectedfromproject teammembers,workshopparticipants,andaudience.
AllmembersofBIBexpressed that theproject provided them with int imateknowledgeof improvisation. Over90%of the respondents in the firstworkshopconsideredthecontentvaluable intrainingtheir improvisationskills. The teacherssaid that through the workshop theylearnthow tocreateanduseacoherent

Improvised comedy requireshigh levelofcoordination for theperformance tobesuccessful. AllBIBmembersthought thattheprojectwas instrumental for them indeveloping teamworkskills. Theyhavebecomemoreactive ingroupsand learnttoalwaysbeattentivetofellowactorsandrespondaccordinglyand instantaneously.Specifically, they are nowmore skillfulin planning, assigning, delegating, andperformingassigned tasks. All teachersa lso agreed that the workshop hadsignificantly raised their awareness ofteamwork.
All BIBmembers expressed that theircommunicationskillshadimproved,thanksto increasedcompetenceofEnglishasadirectresultofrehearsalsandpreparationforworkshops. Thestudents indicatedthattheylearnthowtouseagivenEnglishexpression inmultiple contexts. Over90%of theprimarystudentsagreed thatthey feltmore confident in expressingthemselvesaftertheworkshop.About90%of theteacherparticipantsagreedthat theworkshophad raised theirawarenessofcommunication techniqueswithstudentsandparents. However, less than60%oftherespondents in thesecondarystudentworkshop thought the training improvedtheircommunicationskills,and less than50% felt more confident in languageexpressionafter theworkshop. Thiswasattributed to the large number of 125participantsintheworkshop.

4.3 A Cultural and Spacial Project on Buddhist Complex
This is aKTPproject thatwas fundedin previous year and completed in thereportingyear.
Introduction & Underpinning ResearchLocated in theKowloonPeninsula,ChiLinComplex(“theComplex”)—aBuddhistcomplex featuringTang-stylearchitectureandclassicalChinesegardendesign—isvery familiar to thecommunity,yet fewareawareof itsculturalsignificance. TheComplex represents one of themostvaluableChinesemonuments inHongKong and carries enormous religious,cultural,andartisticsignificance.Beautifulplants,artistic rocks,peacefulpondandeavesofancientstyle templeconstituteapoetic landscape that ismost impressive.Itssceneryandculturalheritage togetherdefine the aesthetic of “oneness” inChineselandscapepainting.

there is a newPure Land spirit whichemphasisesverymuchonengagementwithinsteadofdetachmentfromtheearthlyworld. ThePureLandmuralstudyalsorevealed the relationship between thesecularandsacredspaces.Theactiveandcloserelationshipbetweenthetwospacesreflects a spirit of social engagement.This spirit is important for themodernsociety which suffers from excessiveindividualismthatcaresonlyone’sownselfanddisregardstheimportanceoftheother(Ng,2007a,2007b). Dr.Ngextendedhisresearch toChiLinComplexand foundthat thespatialandartisticdesignof theComplexreflectsthenewPureLandspirit.
Against this researchbackground,Dr.NgandDr.JackSaiChongLee—anexpertinBuddhistArtsfromAcademyofVisualArts(“AVA”)—conductedan interdisciplinaryKTPprojectwithexternal partnerHongKong Community Col lege (“HKCC”),seeking to transfer the research findingsofstudiesonChiLinComplexintoculturalresources for the tourist industry andeducationcommunity.
Dur ing the f i rs t phase f rom July toSeptember2010,Dr.Ng incorporatedhisresearchfindingsonChiLinComplex intoacoursethathetaught forMasterofArtsinLiberalStudiesandEthics (“MALSE”)atHKBU. Theprogramme isdesignedfor thosewho intend tobehigh schoolteachersandtherewereover40studentsinDr.Ng’s course. Examples from theComplexwere employed in the courseforvarious topics related toglobalisation,socialparticipation,andpersonalidentity.Itwasexpectedthat theteachers-in-training
wouldfurthertransfertheknowledgeofChiLinComplex to theirownstudents in thenearfuture.
During the second phase, the projectleadersdeveloped the research findingsin to teach ing mater ia ls fo r L ibera lStudiescurriculumunder theNewSeniorSecondarywith the assistance of highschool teachers. Topics in the teachingmaterials include globalisation, socialparticipation,environment,andpersonalidentity,all ofwhichare required topicsforstudents inHongKong. This teachingkit includesPowerPoint presentations,lessonnotes,andworksheetsforstudents.TeacherswerealsoencouragedtousetheinstructionsonusingtheComplexasotherlearningexperiencegiven in the teachingmaterial:fieldtripwithsuggestedroutesoftheComplex,suggested themes for fieldtrips,referencefor independentstudiesontheComplex,etc. Through theseefforts,theproject teamsought toenhance theeffectiveness in transferringknowledgeofChiLinComplex tohighschool teachersandstudents.
Duringthethirdphase,incollaborationwithHKCC,twoseminarswerepresentedon14and15November2011onHKCCcampustoover120audiencesonthemeaningandvalueof theComplex incultureandart,socialengagement,andspirituality. Theseminarsnotonlyexpandedtheaudience’sunderstandingofChi LinComplexandknowledge of related topics, but alsoinspired lecturersofHKCCto incorporatetheComplex as case studies in theircourses.

In the evaluation for exhibitionVisual Perception and Representation of Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden,morethan50%oftheartistparticipantsexpressedthattheexhibitionimprovedtheirunderstandingofChiLinComplex, cross-mediavisualarts and relation between space andindividual. However,visitors’ response totheexhibitionwaslessdesirable.Asmallportionof respondents agreed that theexhibitionenhanced theirunderstandingofChiLinComplex(12%ofrespondents),cross-mediaVisualArts (29%), relationbetweenspaceandindividual(20%).Thecomparativelylessdesirableresponsewascausedbytheexhibition’snatureinartisticexpression insteadof textualoracademicexpression. Thisalsoexplainedwhy67%of the artist participants indicated thatparticipating in theexhibitionenhancedtheircreativity.
The audience also reported that theirmotivationfor learningcultureandartwassignificantly improvedafter theseminars.However, therewasa contast betweentheresponsesfromartistparticipantsandvisitorson the impactof theexhibition.Moreartistparticipantsthanvisitorsagreedthat the exhibitionmotivated them toshareknowledgetoothers(67%vs.21%),to learn about architecture and culture(67%vs.17%),and to learnaboutvisualarts (75%vs.28%).
