Business Partnership Fund

Up to £10,000 per year

This scheme is available, like the Link Fund, to encourage engagement with business and industrial partners but aims to support a higher level of interaction. It is intended to support feasibility studies, co-funding studentships and similar joint undertakings with industry. This fund could be used to potentially leverage additional research funding. A report and details of the project's outcomes will be required.

Expenditure will need to be evidenced and the approval will be through assessment by an external panel, the College, and RKT. A minimum of a final report and possible interim reports will be required. Match funding from the College and the Partner is encouraged.

It is anticipated that awards from the Business Partnership scheme should be made within four weeks of the application submission deadline.  For details of the submission deadlines please click here.
