Find local advice

Knowledge transfer advisers and knowledge bases are available to help support a KTP application.

If your project is not suitable for KTP, they may be able to suggest alternative options.

Knowledge base partners

Check to see if your university, college, research and technology organisation or catapult is listed below.

If your institution is not listed, check to see if you are eligible to become a KTP knowledge Base. Eligible organisations must be UK based and approved by UK Research and Innovation or be a member of the Association for Innovation, Research and Technology Organisations.

Eligible institutions should contact their nearest knowledge transfer adviser for more information about the process required to become a KTP knowledge base.
