For Business
Collaborate with peers and business experts in our hub of research excellence. We take our theoretical expertise and apply it to your real-world business challenges.
Knowledge Transfer Partnership
The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) scheme helps businesses like yours to innovate and grow. We draw on expertise that you may not have in-house.
Our expertise can help your business perform better by becoming more competitive and productive. The scheme links your organisation with a university. A graduate will then work on an innovative, strategic project.
Each KTP is a three-way partnership between the business, the university and the graduate, or associate. These partnerships benefit everyone involved.
We employ the graduate but they work at the company, which can be anywhere in the UK. The graduate doesn't have to be from Newcastle University to take part.
A KTP usually lasts between one and three years, depending on the project and your business needs.
Government funding supports this scheme. The amount you need to contribute depends on the size of your business and the scale and length of the project.
The KTP provided us with the research and expertise of Newcastle University Business School. The KTP will help with the change that the automotive aftersales market is experiencing right now.
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.
