KTP Conference 2018 

The 香港六合彩资料 was selected by the KTP community to host the annual Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Conference in 2018. 

Over 140 delegates from universities across the UK came to 香港六合彩资料 to network and share updates on funding.

The selection was an acknowledgement of our strength in this area as a leading university in the South-East for KTPs, also with a 100% success rate for funding applications.

Aiming to showcase the best of 香港六合彩资料 and to focus on practical learning, the conference was focused around 12 workshops across three themes: Developing the pipeline, Winning the funding and Managing the project.

Speakers included Professor Tara Dean, Richard Lamb, KTP Programme Manager at Innovate UK, Dr Fionnuala Costello, Head of Open Programme, Innovate UK and Steve Welsh, Director of KTN (Knowledge Transfer Network).

Representatives from KTP co-sponsors, AHRC and ERSC talked about the types of projects they are interested in funding and Innovate UK provided information on the additional £25million for productivity-focused KTPs announced in the autumn budget statement.

Feedback on the conference has been extremely positive, with one Knowledge Transfer Adviser saying that it has changed the way she interacts with universities in her region.

The KTN generated 29 new cases studies for them to showcase KTP. The next KTP conference will be held in Aberdeen.
