The AHRC is a sponsor of the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) scheme, which facilitates collaborative projects designed to address strategic issues in business or other non-academic organisations.
KTP provides financial support for three-way partnerships between a Knowledge Base (FE colleges, HEIs, as well as other research organisations), a non-academic partner (including private sector companies, charities and public sector organisations) and a recent graduate who is employed to work on a specific project relevant to the business.
Research in the arts and humanities is a huge resource for a diverse range of industry sectors. Our sponsorship of this well-established scheme means that for the first time universities or FE colleges and non-academic partners can develop Knowledge Transfer Partnerships which draw on the full range of arts and humanities research, and apply for sponsorship of up to 67% of the cost of such projects.
There are frequent deadlines for applications throughout the year. For further information please contact your local KTP Adviser or KTP Office. Contact details can be found at http://www.ktponline.org.uk/
