Knowledge Transfer Partnership
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is a collaborative three-way partnership between a university, a business, and a graduate (known as the Associate) that benefits everyone involved.
KTPs help businesses like yours innovate and grow by utilising expertise that you may not have available in-house. A KTP can boost your business' performance by making you more competitive and productive.
The Associate is employed by us but works at your business premises which can be anywhere in the UK. The Associate will work on an innovative, strategic project for your business throughout the duration of the KTP. To participate, Associates are not required to be graduates of Newcastle University.
Depending on the project and your business needs, a KTP usually lasts between one and three years. Government funding supports the scheme. Your contribution depends on the size of your business and the scale and duration of the project.
We can work in collaboration with you on projects that are of a mutual interest to you and us. It’s an opportunity to share knowledge and experience by giving you direct access to our team of thought leaders.
Our research is of the highest academic quality. With more than 100 academic and research staff, our research takes on many different forms. It can be subject-specific or interdisciplinary, and is capable of influencing policy and practice.
Our networks, with strong links to practice, mean we are well-positioned to work with any organisation across the globe.
Captured is an internationally recognised leadership development programme. We deliver this free of charge to small and micro-enterprises in the North East of England employing fewer than 20 staff.
Captured enables owners of eligible enterprises to develop their management and leadership skills. The programme includes four half-day workshops over two months. Each Captured cohort contains up to eight business owners.
We pair each business owner with an experienced manager from one of the region’s larger businesses. That figure offers objective advice and a fresh perspective.
