NPL is helping institutes to measure the impact of their knowledge transfer. As research budgets are pushed, understanding their value and impacts for business is becoming more critical than ever for continued investment.

NPL has studied the need to develop more effective measures for the impact of research and knowledge transfer by looking at both public good and commercial gain from stakeholders' perspectives. The newly developed 'Value Scorecard' looks at what stakeholders in the programme value and assesses this through quantitative and qualitative measures.

NPL has developed a new framework for measuring the impact of the knowledge transfer activity it undertakes. In Insights - Beyond measurement, NPL's new magazine which focuses on 'Open Innovation' - Tim Jones outlines how this process was developed, how it works.
