This document discusses Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP), which involve partnerships between businesses and knowledge-based organizations like universities. KTPs employ associates to work full-time transferring knowledge from the knowledge-based partner to help the business partner solve strategic problems over 1-3 years. Case studies show benefits for both partners, with businesses gaining new technologies and associates gaining work experience. KTPs can benefit businesses of any size seeking to advance applied research.

4. “Accelerating Business Innovation’
• Set up > 35 Years ago in the UK
• Rationale :
Effective innovation involves knowledge, technology, skills
and adaptability to implement it
• this is not always embodied in equipment or codified in an
easily transferable form.
• People embody the skills and know-how to effect
innovative change in businesses.
• Knowledge developed or improved in academic
institutions may need extensive or intensive adaptation to
particular business applications.
• A qualified person with a direct link to the academic
source is the ideal transfer agent.
This Project is funded by the EU
5. Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
• Objective: Archive a strategic impact to a real
problem in the business environment through
access to the University’s research expertise,
knowledge and facilities.
• Structure: The KTP “Associate” is employed by the
University, supervised by an academic but works
full-time with the company
• Duration: one to three years.
• Suitable for: SMEs who do not have their own R&D
department and university groups strongly focused
on highly applied research.

6. KTP: Ključni igrači
Partnersko preduzeće – uglavnom kompanija (uključujući
i neprofitne) ali u nekim slučajevima može biti i
zdravstvena ili obrazovna institucija ili lokalna vlast. KTP
podržava firme iz različitih sektora, nezavisno od veličine
Partner baze znanja (Knowledge-base partner) –
visokoškolska institucija (npr fakultet), visoka škola ili
istraživačka organizacija (državna ili privatna)
KTP saradnici – Svako partnerstvo zapošljava jednog ili
više visokostručnih saradnika (nedavno kvalifikovanih)
prenoseći znanje koje traži preduzeće u poslovanje preko
strateškog projekta

7. Partnerstva zasnovana na znanju: Studija slučaja
Harry Jones, (magnet grupa na Oxfordu) +
Space Cryomagnetics Ltd (SCL).
SCL: mala kompanija sa visokom tehnologijom, obimnog iskustva
u niskotemperaturnim super provodnicima. SCL kompanija je
želela da proširi svoj biznis u oblast visokotemperaturnih super
provodnika.
Magnet grupa: vodeće iskustvo u visokotemperaturnim super
provodnicima, na nacionalnom nivou. Grupa je želela da unapredi
svoju tehnologiju u oblasti valjanja i imali su želju da istraže
magnetohidrodinamiku (MHD) podmorničke propulzije, imajući u
vidu moguće primene.

8. Partnerstva zasnovana na znanju : rezultati
Kompanija: prva na svetu MHD
jedinica za podmorničku
propulziju koja koristi
visokotemperaturni magnet kao
super provodnik.
Saradnik: NVQ u
