The KTP programme is a unique, national programme, co-funded bybusinesses and UK government funding bodies (usuallyInnovate UK), which enables a partner organisation to bring in new skills and the latest academic thinking to deliver a specific,strategic innovation project - for example, a new product or service.

The KTP Coordinator will be fully trained and supported by the KTP team to:

  • Manage the live KTP portfolio with businesses and academics from across UCL. Most KTPs are currently in the Bartlett and Engineering faculties.
  • Enable businesses to tap into wider opportunities for collaboration with UCL.
  • Work with central and departmental functions to support the submission and delivery of the KTP portfolio.

Please note that this is a fixed term post until
end of July 2024.
