What is Knowledge Exchange & Enterprise Board?  

Knowledge Exchange & Enterprise Board (KEE Board) is a University committee under the accountability of the Vice-President (Research and Enterprise). Its core responsibilities are to oversee and champion the knowledge exchange, enterprise and innovation agenda across the University, to enhance the University’s strong enterprise ecosystem within a strategic framework. It has responsibility for oversight of the delivery of the KEE Strategic Plan and ensures compatibility with the University’s Strategy with its Triple Helix approach.   

KEE Board focuses on quality and sustainability, whilst enabling enterprise activity to contribute to the diversification of income for the University, maximising the impact of its research outputs and maintain the University’s world leading reputation for knowledge exchange and enterprise (KEE).

The University of Southampton is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We believe that we can only truly meet our objectives if we are reflective of society, so we are passionate about creating a diverse environment.
