NERC invests in Knowledge Transfer Partnerships in Space
Innovate UK and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) are to jointly invest up to £1.3m to establish new Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) in or related to the Space sector to help UK companies to gain a greater share of the expanding global Space market.
This targeted competition for KTPs will support 10 to 12 KTP projects of between six and 36 months, helping to translate the UK's academic strengths in this area into commercial success.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) will consider co-funding KTPs on an individual basis.
