Academic Enterprise – Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
04/04/2008
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships are collaborations between academics, a company that needs their expertise and a graduate recruited to work on a project central to the needs of the business, and its development. Together they devise and manage a 12-36 month project, which is of strategic importance to the company, and is intellectually challenging and of business relevance to the academic. A highly skilled graduate known as a KTP Associate is then recruited to manage the project on a day-to-day basis.
The Knowledge Transfer Partnership Office was established at the University of Salford in January 2004 to provide a focal point and support for the promotion of these technology transfer activities.
For information about how Knowledge Transfer Partnerships can help your business please contact Paul Cihlar, KTP Development Manager on 0161 295 5173 or log on to the website at www.ktpinfo.net
