New resource for academic-industry collaborations

Alison Campbell, KTI

Knowledge Transfer Ireland (KTI), a body that manages academic and industry collaborations, has launched two new templates aimed at making the process of establishing such partnerships more efficient.

The KTI Model Collaborative Research Agreements and KTI Practical Guide to Collaborative Research Agreements have been developed based on experience from industry and Irish higher education institutions. The new templates and associated guide provide in-depth guidance and a negotiation framework for business and research partners.
