The funding is limited, with an expectation of only 4 projects being supported. Alongside standard (TSB) KTP criteria, these projects are targeted towards large enterprises operating in Wales and their associated supply chain. Unlike standard KTPs, the projects awarded will only be available for a duration of 3 years, and Associates can either be already qualified to PhD level, or use the KTP as an opportunity to gain a PhD qualification. There is also an expectation of international travel (engaging with company / supply chain / other knowledge base partner) for both the Associate and Academic Supervisor (additional budget available). An example of companies with bases in Wales include:
The next KTP deadlines are April 26th / June 21st and support for developing a proposal is available from Mark Godber or Caroline Stanton. Further questions to Mark Godber. |
