KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER PARTNERSHIPS enable private and public sector research organisations to apply their research knowledge to important business problems.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships are Government funded and enable UK businesses to benefit from the wide range of expertise available in the UK Knowledge Base - public and private sector research institutes and organisations and higher and further education institutions.
At the heart of each Knowledge Transfer Partnership is a relationship between a company and staff in a Knowledge Base organisation applying their expertise to a project that is central to the development of their Company partner. In the process, staff in the Knowledge Base Partner are able to enhance the business relevance of their work.
Each Knowledge Transfer Partnership is managed by a team involving senior staff from both the Knowledge Base Partner and the Company Partners and a recently qualified graduate recruited as the KTP Associate when the Knowledge Transfer Partnership proposal has been approved.
The aims of each Knowledge Transfer Partnership are to:
- enhance the business relevance of the Knowledge Base Partner's work
- improve the competitiveness of the Company Partner
- enhance the career prospects of a graduate.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships are managed under contract to the Government's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) by Momenta. You can find out more on the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships website.
