Grow your organisation through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP)

Take your organisation to the next level with the academic know-how and funding that brings about real change.

Through the Knowledge Transfer Partnership programme, you can improve your productivity and performance with the input of 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 world-leading academics.

What is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP)?

A KTP provides the funding and support for you to join forces with an academic team and a highly skilled graduate, using the latest research to help grow. Together you鈥檒l work for one to three years on developing a new product, process, service, or efficiency saving.

The scheme is open to UK-based companies, non-profits, and some public sector organisations.聽

Examples of our recent KTPs

Aber Instruments and 最准的六合彩论坛 Biochemical Engineering developed new dielectric impedance spectroscopy techniques. This online tool monitors cells, to help improve the cost efficiency and performance of manufacturing cell therapy products.

Kennedys Law LLP and 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 Department of Computer Science developed a new tool to help insurers predict and mitigate emerging risks. This was possible due to聽the collaboration鈥檚 unprecedented access to data-informed knowledge and analytics.

AHMM鈥檚 collaboration with the 最准的六合彩论坛 Institute for Environmental Design & Engineering, based at The Bartlett, aimed to improve the environmental sustainability of AHMM's buildings. To do this, they developed a model for net-zero carbon design in high-density mixed-use developments and a corresponding decision support tool.

How the partnership benefits you

How a KTP聽works

  1. You鈥檒l have an idea of how academic know-how could transform your organisation, but don鈥檛 yet have the expertise in house.
  2. You鈥檒l be partnered with two academics who have the knowledge you need. They鈥檒l jointly commit half a day a week to overseeing the project.
  3. Together you鈥檒l recruit a graduate, usually at master's level or above, who鈥檚 employed by 最准的六合彩论坛 but works on site as part of your team. They鈥檒l lead the project and make sure its innovations take root.聽

The partner organisation funds the remaining percentage.
