In an ever changing world the place of museums in our society is a perennial question for the museum community, and this includes Birmingham Museums Trust. One way to address this question is to share our achievements in the present and our ambitions for the future. This year’s Annual Report tells in numbers, words and images our successes: visitor numbers over 1 million, nearly a 100,000 school visits, a quarter of a million visitors to the Dippy on Tour exhibition, and a successful international touring exhibition to eight venues in the US. It would be easy to keep adding to this headline list of success, but there are others which are equally important but have a lower profile. Two partnership examples are worth celebrating. First, Birmingham Museums has worked with Birmingham City Council to negotiate long-term leases for our different sites, and second, in the context of climate change, our staff have worked with the Collections Trust to map indoor pests and provide an integrated pest management website for memory institutions to use. The former allows us to plan effectively for our future and the latter to conserve our collections. All of these activities are dependent on the skills and commitment of our staff and on behalf of Birmingham Museums I wish to thank them. Finally, as this will be my last year as Chair I wish to formally thank all of you who have supported me in this role. Professor Ian Grosvenor Chair, Birmingham Museums Trust DIRECTOR’S INTRODUCTION One of the year’s highlights was winning the Museums Association Museums Change Lives award for the HLF-funded Collecting Birmingham project. We wanted to address the lack of objects in the collection that told stories of working-class life in general – growing up, living and working in Birmingham – and post-WWII immigration in particular. The project was very successful, both in terms of collecting objects and of creating lasting relationships with a wide range of communities. The award reflects a growing recognition in the sector of Birmingham Museums’ expertise in community engagement across this young, super-diverse city. On a different note, we won applause in the pages of the Art Newspaper for our decision to make low- to medium-resolution images freely available. Academics and researchers have been quick to take up this service. The long- term result will be that Birmingham’s great collection becomes better known nationally and internationally. This was the year of Dippy on Tour and Leonardo da Vinci, two famous but very different individuals who helped us to exceed visitor forecasts. And across all our sites the less famous but equally important individuals who make up our Board, staff, volunteers and supporters made their own equally valuable contributions to the continuing success of Birmingham Museums.

  • Playing to One's Strengths
    ISSUE 29 Quarterly Journal - December 2018 NEWS COMMENT and ANALYSIS on SPINOUTS from UK HEIs Playing to one’s strengths As we have frequently remarked, and as the figures given in our Quarterly Journals demonstrate, spinout activity—new spinouts created, investment, exits - is highly concentrated in the South East of England. While universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, Imperial and UCL, go from strength to strength, making the most of their favourable environment - business, technology, investment - outside the ‘golden triangle’ it is not possible for universities to replicate the same conditions, and they must identify their own strengths and put them to maximum effect. We have two examples in this issue: Univeresity of Birmingham Enterprise’s account of the commercialisation collaboration between eight Midlands universities (p17), and our Spotlight feature on Swansea University (p15), which has evolved a technology transfer model tailored specifically to its own circumstances. Encouragingly, the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) currently under development acknowledges this issue, and has set out to group universities in clusters, so that universities in the most favoured environments can be assessed against their peers, and others judged by criteria more relevant to their own environments; see our report on p13. Since the publication of our previous Quarterly Journal, the sale of Spinouts UK to Beauhurst has been completed. Henry Whorwood of Beauhurst explains what this means in terms of tracking and profiling spinout companies on p8. There will be a transitional handover period, with Spinouts UK founder and editor Jonathan Harris continuing to produce the Quarterly Journals, while Beauhurst gradually takes over the data collection activities.

  • Intrinsic Features in Spinouts UK
    ISSUE 27 Quarterly Journal - June 2018 NEWS COMMENT and ANALYSIS on SPINOUTS from UK HEIs Measuring what is important TEF, REF, then KEF – university staff are used to dealing with Government TLAs and the administration that they entail, and the KEF (Knowledge Exchange Frame- work) brings this activity into the space covered by Spinouts UK. We are well aware that our focus on spinouts and start-ups is only one part of the picture; indeed, as stressed by the report by the MacMillan group in September 2016 on ‘University Knowledge Exchange (KE) Framework: good practice in technology transfer’, “the processes of exploiting university intellectual property through spinning out companies or licensing . is only one route to impact from the many being examined in the knowledge exchange (KE) framework.” The development of the KEF was discussed in detail at the PraxisAuril conference in May, and some of the concerns and questions of the technology transfer and commercialisation professionals in the audience given a full airing. The KEF is due to be rolled out from late autumn onwards, but this timescale means that the first KEF will be restricted to existing data, with other data capture part of an ongoing process. As Tamsin Mann, Head of Policy at PraxisAuril, noted in a blog about the conference discussion, “Evidence underpinning the KEF needs to be challenging and not just measure ‘the good stuff’. There is a clear desire, from PraxisAuril members at least, to capture the quality of engagement and not just the quantities.” Clarity is required, as the KEF is developed, on who it is for and the kind of feedback needed as outputs, and what the KEF can help institutions to do that is not possible with current arrangements.
