Abstract : Anecdotal evidence from students and practitioners suggested that concerns about how student IP was being managed was likely to be a national concern and funding from the NCGE allowed research to uncover how institutions were dealing with this issue. A national web based survey was developed to collect data against a number of key themes. These were identified as IP awareness, assignment of IP, education and training, institutional practice on student IP (including protecting and commercializing student IP and financial resources) and personal perspectives of institutional policy and practice of student IP. Responses were received from 65 institutions (52% of University Institutions, Universities UK 2005). In addition 17 semi-structured face to face interviews were undertaken and a small number of case studies illustrating the student experience produced. Principles of good practice were identified and collated.
