Knowledge Transfer Partnerships business information sessions

The University of Plymouth are hosting a series of free, business information sessions. These online events will show how different businesses can benefit from a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project and explore other services for business that are available from the University.

KTPs are a fabulous way to hire a part-funded graduate and work with the University.
