Current Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

BNU Business and Law School & The Oasis Partnership KTP

The vision for the project is to equip the charity with the capabilities required to launch, manage, and continue to develop new commercial services, to increase surplus income which will sustain and extend the services the charity provides to core clients.

A combination of formal training and active, experiential learning will equip the charity’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and Trustees with the capabilities required to develop and implement a strategic plan for income/ surplus generation. Training will also enable existing and new staff to acquire the necessary expertise to develop and execute successful social marketing strategies and utilise agile management methodologies to implement and manage the planned services effectively and efficiently.

BNU Art and Design School & Serious Brands Light Engine KTP

The project will tune the spectral output of a light source to an individual’s specific requirements making it possible to use light to help ease symptoms for individuals suffering debilitating conditions such as migraine, tinnitus and myopia. The KTP will embed capabilities in electronics, photonics, product instrumentation and APP design essential to the development of the product envisaged. The knowledge transferred will become central to the brand narrative and be embedded into the customer journey.

For the first time, fine-tuning of spectral output from a light source will be possible enabling access to the potentially profound benefits of light.

KTP Capability Building Competition

The Horizon KTP at Buckinghamshire New University is a capacity building project which enhances the support and uptake of knowledge transfer activities among academics and the business community at county and regional level with the aim to increase the number of successful KTP projects and demonstrate an impactful knowledge base. This project aims to create an inviting environment for academics and companies interested in transforming their goals into successful KTP projects. A culture and ecosystem of support will ensure in the short term a boosted knowledge transfer uptake as the University is now putting KTP at the heart of its enterprise and innovation strategy.
