This is not the first time I have asked PraxisAuril RTTPs this question, but I have never had as many answers to analyse.
UK SPINE – A multi-institute initiative to accelerate drug discovery for healthy ageing - is hosting its annual conference in Birmingham, UK. The theme is: How does the UK lead the race to deliver five extra healthy years of life by 2035.
The University of West London has developed a range of workshops and masterclasses, drawing from the expertise of our staff, and designed to assist individuals and organisations to develop interest, knowledge and skills for future potentials.
We also offer bespoke training packages to organisations by tailoring the content to your organisation’s specific requirements.
A packed agenda covered the latest developments within the University Innovation Fund (UIF), Enterprise, Funding and Metrics and also “How to become a Registered Technology Transfer Practitioner (RTTP)”.
In 2019 a new colleague joined our KTO office - so myself together with my fellow co-workers set out to guide her and let her know how to kick-off her career in technology transfer. I realised that over the relatively short amount of time I have been with a TTO (3 years), I got to learn about multiple opportunities. So, I decided to write about all the opportunities I came to know about during my experience in this blog post, hoping it will be helpful for those who are just about to join our world of technology transfer.
Research England originally proposed the purpose of the KEF to be threefold:
The scope of this funding is for any translational activity which will accelerate the development of new therapeutics which improve health in old age. This could include diagnostics or daily-living monitoring technology that could be used to stratify or provide novel endpoints for a clinical trial.
Up to £75k per project is available. This fund can only cover direct costs, and only English HEIs are eligible to apply.
