Strategic Insight Programme (SIP)
SIP is a collaborative programme across Wales, funded by HEFCW (Higher Education Funding Council for Wales), which encourages innovation and facilitates interaction between university staff and public, private and voluntary sector organisations to establish long-term strategic links.
For the last 3 years it has been highly successful in bringing together universities and external partners to form mutually beneficial partnerships. Businesses have gained a fresh perspective and access to the university’s vast resources and expertise, whilst the university has benefitted through current, real-world experience for staff, feeding back into course content and student employability skills.
The programme provides seed funding to buy out staff time to undertake short-term placements, creating a supportive environment and allowing time to work together to build trust, discuss strategic issues and generate ideas. This time also allows future collaboration to be explored, for example joint funding bids, knowledge transfer projects or commercial projects.
