African Agriculture Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

African Agriculture Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

Description

In this round of the African agriculture strand of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Innovate UK is investing up to £2 million towards the funding of projects.

The African agriculture strand of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) scheme supports a partnership between:

A UK registered higher education or further education institution, research and technology organisation (RTO) or Catapult (which we will refer to as the ‘UK knowledge base’)

African business or not for profit organisation (which we will refer to collectively as the ‘business partner’)

knowledge base in Africa (which we will refer to as the ‘African knowledge base’)

The business and African knowledge base must both be based in one of the following countries:

Republic of Ghana

Federal Republic of Nigeria

Republic of Kenya

Republic of South Africa

The partnership will bring new skills and the latest academic thinking into the business partner to deliver a specific, strategic innovation project. Your project must be in one of the following areas:

primary crop and livestock production, including aquaculture

non-food uses of crops, excluding ornamentals

challenges in food processing, distribution or storage, and value addition (such as through a change in the physical state or form of the product)

improving the availability and accessibility of safe, healthy and nutritious foods

The knowledge base partners will recruit 1 or 2 graduates (known as ‘associates’) to work on the project.

Each application must be led by a UK registered knowledge base, working with an African business partner and African knowledge base. If you are from a knowledge base that has not yet developed a project, get started by reading the KTP guidance.

If you are from an African business, read the guidance then contact the Knowledge Transfer Network or a knowledge base.

By submitting an application, you are entering into a competitive process.

The competition closes at 11 am UK time on Wednesday 14 September 2022
