Welcome to AURIL
AURIL is the professional association representing all practitioners involved in knowledge creation, development and exchange in the UK and Ireland who work to ensure that new ideas, technologies and innovations flow from their institution into the market place. It is the largest knowledge transfer association in Europe, with more than 1600 members from universities, NHS Trusts and public sector research establishments.
The Association enjoys widespread international recognition through its success in influencing UK government policy. It has strong working relations with the Confederation of British Industry, Universities UK, the UKIPO, the Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills, HM Treasury and Higher Education Funding Councils, in partnership with whom it has produced many publications.
AURIL was instrumental in the creation of an Institute of Knowledge Transfer, which will serve to further enhance the professional recognition of the sector and of those working within it. The Institute has now been incorporated.
