If you are looking to enhance your research impact and build stronger connections with business, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) and Management KTPs (mKTPs) are Innovate UK schemes that offer significant funding for collaborative, business-focused projects. These partnerships provide academics with the opportunity to co-develop innovative solutions alongside business partners.

The University of Bath is very successful with KTP submissions, and the Business Partnerships team have dedicated staff offering a complete support package throughout the 1-3 year life-cycle of the projects.

Join us for a presentation by Dr Lorna Howarth, Senior Knowledge Transfer Advisor, who will introduce KTPs and explain the available funding, application processes, and eligibility. You’ll hear real examples of KTP successes and learn how getting involved can advance your research.

This event is relevant to academics across all career stages and disciplines. It’s an excellent opportunity to explore how KTPs can drive both your professional growth and your research impact.

Event Highlights:

Introduction to KTPs, including funding, application guidance, and eligibility
Real examples of successful KTP projects
Optional 1-on-1 sessions for personalised advice during the KTP ‘surgery’ (2-3pm)

Lunch will be provided.
