Earlier Knowledge Transfer Schemes

The UK government has also funded a range of earlier initiatives, largely aimed at addressing specific shortfalls in key areas. In brief these where as below:

University Challenge Seed Fund (UCSF)
The purpose of University Challenge is to enable universities to access seed funds in order to assist the successful transformation of good research into good business. For more information go to related links on the right-hand side of the screen.

Science Enterprise Challenge (SEC)
The aim of the Science Enterprise Challenge was to establish a network of centres in UK universities, specialising in the teaching and practice of commercialisation and entrepreneurialism in the field of science and technology.

Training for Knowledge Transfer Practitioners (KTTP)
This competition was a one off initiative that addressed the acknowledged shortfall in context-based training. It has enhanced the delivery of PSRE 2 and HEIF 2 by ensuring that there will be enough suitably trained professionals in the HEIs and PSREs.
