Knowledge Exchange

 

Objectives

·        Establish multi-dimensional communication pathways by which

o       knowledge developed in the CERSP can be efficiently transferred to those who will implement it and/or benefit from it, both within the commercial sector (including ongoing operations and the venture capital community) and the educational sector

o       the views and needs outside the CERSP are factored into our plans

o       governmental agencies are apprised of our accomplishments, plans and needs

o       public support is maintained by informing citizens and getting feedback regarding the implications and importance of CERSP work

·        Leverage resources of the Center to

o       establish individual and organizational partnerships

o       provide facilities enabling development of CERSP-invented technology

in order promptly to convert technical knowledge into successful, sustainable processes and enterprises enjoying public support

Performance Measures

·      Exchanges with industrial and entrepreneurial affiliates and government officials, Center-sponsored symposia, workshops, and use of facilities for knowledge exchange

·      Dissemination of information via CERSP Newsletter and website

·      Number of papers published and presentations at professional meetings

·      Number of invited presentations

·      Patent donations, filings, acquisitions and other intellectual property management

·      Personnel exchanges, number of visiting scientists and number of joint papers

·      Complementary funding attracted from industry

·      Number and quality of external collaborative interactions

·      Number and quality of international interactions

RICHES Initiative

The RICHES initiative seeks to

Reach Industry, Communities and Higher Education Students

in order to provide an appreciation of the environmental, technological, and health benefits of CO2-related science.  We will develop and fund several summer intern programs at our five major CERSP sites and convey appreciation of green chemistry, especially as practiced at CERSP, to industry and the general public.  In the process, we seek to increase

    · the number of underrepresented groups in sciences, focusing on higher education
   ·  the capabilities of our students through enhanced educational opportunities
   ·  understanding of CERSP and green chemistry through newsletters, news releases, exhibits, publications and presentations
   ·  utilization of CERSP-derived technology through strong partnerships
   ·  the value of our Center to society and
   ·  appreciation of the value of green chemistry and our Center among legislators and policy makers

Summary

Establishing multi-dimensional communication pathways is a key element of the innovation process.  It is important that the industrial sector be aware of our capabilities and have input to our research program.  Through public outreach initiatives we hope to improve understanding of how technology contributes to quality of life and how sustainability issues are part of the “life-style equation”.  We hope to empower people to make informed decisions that will affect their quality of life.  CERSP knowledge exchange objectives are achieved through outreach activities to industry, communities and governmental officials. Industrial outreach programs provide vital technological assistance for today's economy while laying the groundwork for future growth and knowledge. Knowledge transfer is further achieved through publications, the media, demonstrations, presentations, tours, partnerships, public forums, the Internet and workshops.

Math and Physical Science Fellows

This is a new program to establish a Math and Physical Sciences-Internship in Public Science Education (MPS-IPSE) in the area of Carbon Dioxide in Nature and Technology.  The program is partially funded by NSF and is a joint effort of the Kenan Institute for Engineering, Technology & Science at NC State University, the NSF Science and Technology Center for Environmentally Responsible Solvents and Processes (CERSP) led by UNC Chapel Hill, and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.  Outstanding math and science K-12 teachers from the Research Triangle area in North Carolina will be recruited as MPS Fellows for a three-year program.  During this time period, the Fellows will have summer internships at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and the NSF CERSP facilities at NC State University and the UNC Chapel Hill.  Scientists in the CERSP and staff in the museum will serve as mentors throughout the three-year program to help the teachers develop novel curriculum tools for K-12 education, and educational programs and displays for the museum public.  At the same time, the teachers will be able to obtain graduate credit for advanced degrees in education at local universities, and they will participate in professional and personal leadership training programs throughout the academic year.  Significant leverage will be provided through the recruitment efforts and partnerships of a recently established program of the Kenan Institute called the Fellows for Curriculum and Leadership Development.  The major theme to be developed by MPS Fellows is: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in Nature and Technology.

MPS Fellows selected from North Carolina’s brightest and most committed teachers will collaborate with the NC Museum of Natural Sciences staff to explore new ways of describing and teaching the natural role of CO2 in our world. The CO2 focus of this collaboration will utilize computer facilities and the existing educational initiatives at the museum such as exhibits entitled Mountains to the Sea and Coastal Carolina both designed to engage a community of learners in experiential learning.  MPS Fellows will also collaborate with CERSP scientists to explore the problems associated with processing in conventional solvents and the potential benefits of processing in CO2.  Manufacturing of integrated circuits and synthesis and processing of polymers are the subject areas that MPS Fellows will explore to understand the potential benefits of using CO2 in cutting edge science and technology.  MPS Fellows will develop and implement curriculum tools as well as Museum hands-on exhibit hall carts, learning stations, and publications to link current scientific opportunities in CO2 to students in the classrooms and the general public. Finally, the MPS Fellows will provide comprehensive process, outcome, and impact evaluations about the program. The proposed activities of this proposal will meet many of the strategic goals of the MPS-IPSE Fellowship Program:

·  provide valuable training for MPS Fellows by establishing a close working relationship with scientists from CERSP and staff from the NC Museum of Natural Sciences
·  provide valuable experiences for MPS Fellows that will enrich their classrooms
·  provide NC Museum of Natural Sciences staff the opportunity to collaborate with talented interns and research scientists who bring new skills and ideas to the development of museum programming and exhibits
·  provide opportunities for CERSP scientists to bring their latest scientific research results to the public and gain experience in effective public outreach and education
