ICZ Development Framework:

Synopsis

The ICZ Development Framework sets out the scope of the ICZ Programme and the work undertaken to establish each of the four ICZs. This document provides a synopsis of the ICZ Development Framework.

The various stages of development each ICZ has identified are reflected in the summarised versions of each individual ICZ section. These set out the deliverables that to be achieved in the first 24 months of the Zone development.

Each of the ICZs are at different stages on their development journey. The narratives in this synopsis reflect their state of maturity in identifying their full scope and focus.

The ICZ Development Framework reflects that much of the work involved in the first 12 months will be achieved with existing budgets and resources. However, it sets out the necessary and sufficient conditions that will allow for full financial business cases to be developed. Decisions regarding future investment and resource allocation will be made as part of the 2017/18 Operational Planning processes.

Introduction

The University of Salford exists in a rapidly changing and turbulent operating environment. Unprecedented changes across the economic, political, social and technological spectrum continue to impact upon both the public and private sectors. The pace of change is exponential and these changes give rise to a number of challenges and opportunities. The University Strategy 2016 – 2021 addresses these challenges and opportunities head on, and is underpinned by our Vision ‘By pioneering exceptional industry partnerships we will lead the way in real world experiences preparing students for life’.

This bold and ambitious statement focuses on developing cross-sector ‘industry’ partnerships that bring together the University’s heritage with its future aspirations. In the context of this Development Framework, our defi nition of industry is ‘the development, production and delivery of goods, and/or services within an economy, geographical location or community’.

The development of Industry Collaboration Zones (ICZs) is our single strategic priority over the fi ve years of our strategy to support the achievement of this Vision. The aim of the ICZs is to: ‘unite staff, students, industry and communities in a multi-disciplinary, technology enabled environment in the pursuit of the shared goals of knowledge, learning and innovation.’

We will initially create four ICZs: Digital and Creative; Engineering and Environments; Health, Wellbeing and Society; Sport.

By pioneering exceptional industry partnerships we

will lead the way in real world experiences preparing

students for life.”

By 2021 our ICZs will ensure:

Every Student has the opportunity for an integrated work-based learning

experience

Every programme is co-created with industry, and delivered with the maximum

flexibility of time, place and method

Research and enterprise activities are grounded in the needs of industry and contribute to meeting a range of global

challenges

The University community enacts the ICZ principles in all its activities, ensuring the maximum cross University contribution is

made to all four ICZs

The University is the destination of choice for high quality students whose fit with

industry as the future workforce ensures high levels of employability

4

The ICZs will, through the creation of exceptional partnerships, provide the vehicle for establishing the University of Salford as the fi rst choice for students wanting an experience characterised by integrated work-based learning, a fl exible, industry informed and research based curriculum, underpinned by a commitment to a creative pedagogy and aligned to contemporary business models.

Flexible integrated work-based learning will be a central feature of all programmes and at all levels of study. Such industry placements will actively prepare students for employment and equip them with the confi dence and personal attributes required to apply this knowledge in the workplace. Every student will be provided with employability support, advice and direction from the point of deciding to study at Salford through to graduating. On graduating, we will provide continuing industry involvement opportunities with the University as alumni, promoting sense of belonging and a life-long affi liation with the University.

The University already has a number of emergent streams of work that collectively contribute to meeting a range of global challenges. The ICZs will shape and structure the University’s contribution to meeting these global challenges through the cross University pooling of resources and ideas and greater linking with external partners and stakeholders enabled by the ICZ programme.

Our focus now is being ‘ICZ Ready’ – our people; our research;

our enterprise and teaching portfolio; our campus”

The Digital and Creative economy includes a wide range of industries from information technology and data services to media and entertainment. This year the UK is home to 58,000 digital companies, up from 47,200 in 2015. Growth of the digital technology economy was 32% faster than the overall UK economy 2010-2014 and today provides 1.56 million jobs.

The industry needs that drive opportunities for the ICZ Digital and Creative are generated by the intersection of two factors: emerging digital technology and ubiquitous use of media to interface with digital technology throughout the information and data ecosystem. The convergence of Digital and Creative fi elds is generating new careers and new industries. This convergence is ongoing and is responsible for the increasing digital skills gap generated by the demands of the UK economy.

The ICZ Digital and Creative will leverage, synthesize and extend existing university-industry partnerships that range across the digital and creative industry sectors to forge new types of industry partnerships, applying these to the creation of new student learning experiences. The ICZ will develop agile industry engagement to complement the academic traditions of semester course delivery and annual curriculum change. Across the University the ICZ will develop and exercise strong bonds between all Schools. Through these cross-disciplinary collaborations the ICZ will build a foundation in future industry practice to focus and strengthen programmes’ investment in Digital and Creative career convergence.

The ICZ Digital and Creative has two major goals:

• Advanced Industry Projects

• Curriculum Innovation

Advanced Industry Projects

With industry partners the ICZ will establish a Risk Assessment business model. This model will include project capacity to support industry in the reduction of risk in business and technology development. Collaborations will be developed to enable industry-facing pilot projects that aid exploration of emerging technologies for industry applications and related creative practices.

During 2016-17 the ICZ Digital and Creative will integrate and consolidate activities in concept development for business model value propositions, extend interdisciplinary team networking and leverage operational planning at the School level. In tandem the ICZ will conduct pilot projects and assess their outcomes, and plan and initiate partnership outreach and coordination activities to identify major institutional and industry collaborators.

Curriculum Innovation

To engage industry the ICZ must provide relevant activities and outcomes as well as the promise of an empowered workforce. The Risk Assessment model is conceived to enable industry to explore future business directions through pilot projects that are relatively low cost compared to industry in-house research. The projects are designed explorations to future investment toward new enterprise. The model is based on the value proposition that

1. ICZ Digital and Creative

Digital & Creative

universities thrive on risk through exploration, discovery and learning, including learning to fail fast as part of learning how to succeed. Students exposed to risk reduction projects will be well prepared to contribute to future industry.

Student participation is beneficial to digital industry projects in two ways: Students represent a key demographic for the digital economy, and students are early adopters who can become change agents as industry employees. The ICZs face a great challenge to scale up industry engagement projects so that every student can be directly involved. Future curriculum will offer scalable simulated industry projects designed for interdisciplinary teams representing multiple fields of study. These simulated projects are informed by industry engagement and developed and validated in consultation with industry advisory groups.

The following themes broadly describe classes of ICZ projects and development activities that represent the continuum of Digital and Creative convergence:

Human Experience Design and Modelling

• Design practices that range from art-making to computational modelling and simulation such as cognitive modelling and artificial intelligence

• Skills and careers include interface design and information presentation, including both nonfiction/scientific and fictional/artistic applications. The range of industries that use these tools is very broad and includes many traditional industries.

Physical to Virtual World-making

• Design and fabrication of systems comprised of connected physical and digital spaces, objects and media; outputs range from expressive and experimental to applied and practical.

• Making and maker spaces are core to this theme. Technologies include 3D printing, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), and smart spaces such as smart rooms for monitoring elderly or medical patients in residence or hospital.

• Many practical industry applications require the use of data to connect to virtual representations of real-word places. Location based entertainment as well as VR and AR used in online Journalism and other media channels are included.

Creative Practice for Technology Design and Testing

• The application and development of creative perspectives that lead to technological innovations in tools and instruments.

• Careers include software and hardware industry in-house research and prototyping as well as dedicated industrial design firms, architecture firms, and software companies that create applications for mobile devices and internet-of-things devices.

Non-fiction Multimedia for Data Interpretation and Decision-making

• The use of data visualisation and multi-modal data representation to aid analysis, understanding, and decision making in areas such as finance, business, medicine, and government.

10

Human-Media Interaction and Digital Performance

• Focus on interactive functions and affordances of digital systems with multimodal interfaces. Skills and careers involve engagement with people who use digital systems to improve their experience by improving the quality of digital services and data that are provided.

• Applications range from internet of things for public and home services, to dedicated facilities for sports, aviation, health and medicine to online and mobile communication and social engagement including play and learning, as well as performing arts applications such as dance, music and theatre.

In summary, the ICZ Digital and Creative will identify, support, and develop connections that recognise and foster convergence of creative practices and digital technologies. Prototypes of converged applications and skills will be developed in consultation with emerging industries as well as traditional industries that seek digital solutions. New forms of interdisciplinary instruction and student-industry engagement will be developed within an environment of creative practices and creative technologies.

ICZ Engineering and Environments will operate across the built, human and natural environments. The ICZ Engineering and Environments will help to secure the University’s position in a number of interrelated sectors including: aerospace, agricultural technologies, automotive, construction, information economy, infrastructure, life sciences, nuclear, offshore wind, oil and gas, and associated professional and business services.

In our region, the opportunity for ICZ Engineering and Environments is to secure and deepen our strong position to support and stimulate innovation across the GMCA devolved authority, (which has major implications not only for the health sector, but for broader life sciences, construction and infrastructure, amongst others), and across all of the Northern Powerhouse spatial geographical area.

The initial stage of establishing the ICZ Engineering and Environments will focus on activities that will position the University strongly both within one of the industry sectors noted above and our sub-region, demonstrating potential for socio-economic benefit to the broader stakeholder community.

Reflecting the global context of the ICZ Engineering and Environments the initial work will be focused around four complementary and interconnected themes to help shape and bridge the gap between our target industry sectors and our current offers: Energy, Built, human and natural environments, Digital and design, Underpinning/enabling systems

Energy

This theme reflects the work of the newly formed ‘Salford Innovation and Research Centre’ (SIRC) aimed at providing the know-how and expertise in the advancement of the 21st century technology with the resultant impact on business success and economic growth.

• Energy House I & II

• Gas and petroleum

• Energy demand reduction

• Clean and renewable energy

Built, Human and Natural Environments

This themes draws upon existing strengths of our research activities in biodiversity, disease epidemiology, pollution, GIS, remote sensing and spatial modelling we will expand our range of external stakeholders. Likewise, growth in construction drives growth in other sectors of the economy, and hence the need to develop the construction and infrastructure sectors to become more effective.

• Environmental management

• Construction and infrastructure

• Innovative manufacturing

• Robotics and automation

• Drones

2. ICZ Engineering and Environments

14

• Spatial modelling

• Ecosystems and environment

• Bioscience

• Acoustics

• Translational medicine

Digital and Design

This theme draws upon the existing strengths of our research activities in SOBE and beyond: Digital design and BIM, improvement of off-site construction techniques, advanced data management, the removal of barriers to innovation within the industry, the drive for green and sustainable construction, improved client procurement and delivery capability, and the need for a much stronger and committed leadership.

• Digital information systems (including Big Data)

• Design for dementia care

• Design against crime

Underpinning/Enabling Systems

Across the Schools contributing to the ICZ Engineering and Environments are specialist staff, who are in a sense, pure scientists – mathematicians, physicists, sociologists, psychologists and the like. This specialist academic grouping will facilitate new and more focused transdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary opportunities within the industry sectors that are noted above.

• Translational Science (to include social science and engineers)

• STEAM

• Maker Movement

Reflecting the global environmental context the ICZ Health, Wellbeing and Society is structured into three complementary and interconnected themes: co-producing wellbeing, delivering better health and improving society.

Co-producing Wellbeing

The theme of co-producing wellbeing is aligned with the idea that wellbeing (the state of being comfortable, health and happy) is increasingly seen as something subject to intersectionality, involving a variety of institutions, disciplines, groups and individuals. The idea of the co-production of wellbeing, for example, is at the heart of the devolution activity currently happening within Greater Manchester.

Examples of areas where we currently have capacity to contribute to the co-production of wellbeing include:

• behaviour change;

• consultative urban environment planning;

• creative health interventions;

• health education/promotion;

• leisure;

• peer led management of long term conditions;

• public health;

• translational medicine;

• work life balance and healthy work environments.

Delivering Better Health and Social Care

The theme of delivering better health recognise, that despite initiatives that seek to join up the provision of health and social care, there remains a need for engaging with these matters in very specific professional, clinical, medical and scientific contexts. This theme is therefore in place to allow for the development of collaboration and partnerships related to the diverse range of health and social care professionals we currently educate, the clinical services we offer and the science that is critical to health practice. It also provides scope for the further development of industrial partnerships and research in this area given the forthcoming opening of our private medical school and the ongoing work regarding our Institute for Dementia for instance.

Examples of areas where we currently have capacity to contribute to delivering better health include:

• cancer;

• counselling and psychotherapy;

• diagnostic radiography;

• drug design;

• health and social care workforce training;

• infectious diseases,

• inflammation,

• occupational therapy;

3. ICZ Health, Wellbeing and Society

18

• physiotherapy;

• podiatry;

• pre-clinical research and clinical trials;

• nursing and midwifery;

• service redesign and evaluation;

• sport’s science and rehabilitation.

Improving Society

The theme of improving society seeks to recognises the valuable role of the University and our partnerships as leaders in addressing social concerns. These social concerns are intimately and inexorably connected with notions of health and wellbeing and range from those concerned with society at large, such as social inclusion, equality of opportunity and social cohesion, through to those associated with various spheres of life such as business, work, education and leisure. The improving society theme also stands as a reference point for the University being not only an anchor institution, but an independent critical friend for society.

Examples of areas where we currently have capacity to contribute to improving society include:

• big data, computing and (Bio/Health) informatics;

• criminology;

• digital business, digital humanities and digital social science;

• socially responsible/ethical business and law;

• housing and the urban environment;

• social work;

• social policy;

• sociology.

In summary, co-producing wellbeing, delivering better health, and improving society are over-arching themes in which to accommodate policy and budgetary changes, demographic shift, local collaboration and so on. In light of ICZ Health, Wellbeing & Society, the three themes interconnect as a matrix in which an organisational structure can come into vision as a collaborative that improves society more generally.

Sport is recognised as a major lever of social and economic development in the Manchester region – backed up by an enthusiastic fan and customer base. Manchester is a strategic and important location as one of the world’s most important sporting cities, which provides access to a key stakeholders, markets and resources.

The University already possesses a number of strengths in areas that will fall within the scope of the ICZ Sport’s activities. Sport and sports-related teaching that has been identified by students and other relevant stakeholders as being excellent; Sport and sports-related research and consultancy identified; and research and insights that are impactful, change behaviours and add value across sport and sport related industry areas. These existing strengths can be evidenced through:

• existing or emerging competences in the sports business analysis; sports science, health and wellbeing; digital and new media in sport; social impact and cohesion through sport;

• an established, sometimes flourishing reputation in some areas of sport;

• staff and other resources that are already devoted to sport, exercise, physical activities and sport related activities;

• a range of sport and sport related programmes upon which significant numbers of students are enrolled;

• a track record of finding internship, volunteering and employment opportunities in sport for our students;

• research excellence in a number of areas, both in terms of publication and impact;

• a track record of generating revenues from and providing value-adding services to customers and other stakeholders;

• staff who are acknowledged as world-leading and to whom members of, for example, the media routinely refer as ‘go to’ experts.

Building on these strengths the ICZ Sport will initially focus on four interconnected themes:

• sports business analysis

• sports science, rehabilitation, health and wellbeing

• digital and new media in sport

• social impact and cohesion through sport

Sports Business Analysis

The creation and maintenance of market intelligence gathering activities such as school-based sports advisory panels, to ensure relevance and responsiveness; cross-university practices such as the production of annual sports reviews and development plans aimed at ensuring that the university is effectively identifying and responding to market need; the creation of appropriate targets for schools aimed at ensuring that the university successfully achieves its income targets
