Welcome!

Organised by the Institute of Knowledge Transfer in partnership with the KES International knowledge transfer organisation and the the second International Conference on Innovation through Knowledge Transfer InnovationKT'10 will provide an opportunity to disseminate, share and discuss the impact of university-business interaction though knowledge transfer partnerships, spin-outs, incubators, licensing of intellectual property, collaborative applied research, and all other knowledge transfer mechanisms.

The conference will be of interest to businesses, academics, managers and researchers involved in knowledge transfer across a range of disciplines. Featuring world-class invited speakers, oral and poster presentation sessions and workshops, it will provide a forum to discuss issues of common interest and learn from each other in a true spirit of knowledge exchange.

Following on from the successful InnovationKT'09 held in Kingston in December 2009, InnovationKT'2010 gives the West Midlands an opportunity to present an international knowledge transfer conference.
