Knowledge Transfer Networks

Knowledge Transfer Networks, part of the Technology Programme, aim to put a host of useful information at your fingertips. This will help you to find out what’s new in technology or policy that may benefit or effect you - aswell as enabling you to find suitable, collaborative partners or put forward your opinions and debate specific issues. 

Such information could include news, patents, reports and debates, at multi-regional, national and international levels, and involve many relevant stakeholders from Academia and Business to Regional Development Agencies, Devolved Administrations and Government Departments. 

Knowledge Transfer Networks will play an important role in the development of the Technology Strategy too, providing stakeholders with a focussed communication channel to participate in it’s development and a source of credible information and opinion for Government to draw on. 

These networks will be supported by a DTI Grant, and if you wish to apply for a grant, further details of the key technology areas currently being supported can be found under open calls.

Some networks are already under development in key technology areas; 

Details of other networks will be posted here as they become available.
