Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP)

The TLEO's Innovation & Enterprise Team is increasingly involved in the KTP (Knowledge Transfer Partnerships) programme with many Academics from schools across the University participating in KTP schemes. It is Europe's leading business improvement programme.

KTP is a Government scheme which helps companies access the knowledge and skills within the UK's 'Knowledge Base' (universities, independent research and technology organisations, and Government-funded Research Institutions).

KTP programmes bring a host of benefits for participating companies in the short, medium and longer-term. From the outset, you will have expert knowledge applied directly to key areas of your business, leading to product, process or management improvements.

KTP schemes last anywhere between one and three years - involving collaboration between an academic, a graduate and an industrial or service sector company.

The scheme is about technology, knowledge transfer and strategic business projects and entails substantial external income.

For more detailed information on KTP please contact our KTP Manager or phone 020 7320 3540.

More information on KTPs can also be found at the UK KTP website.
