Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) can provide a wide range of benefits to organisations of every size
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership is a partnership between your organisation and the University of Derby that is designed to address a defined business need.
The programme of work is implemented by a recently qualified person (known as the Associate), recruited to specifically work on the project. Working within your organisation, the Associate leverages the knowledge, skills and technology available within the University of Derby, under the close supervision and support of an academic expert.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships:
- can address business needs of every nature from short term tactical, through to longer term strategic, issues.
- are suitable for use in all industries and sectors and companies of all sizes can benefit. Charities, not-for-profit and public sector organisations are also eligible for Knowledge Transfer Partnerships.
- can vary in length from one to three years (Classic Knowledge Transfer Partnerships) and from 10-40 weeks (Shorter Knowledge Transfer Partnerships), depending on the needs of the business and the desired outcomes.
40-65% of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership cost incurred will be met* depending on the size of your organisation and the length of the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships.
*Terms and conditions apply - please contact us for details.
