UTS Key Technology Partnerships
UTS launched the Key Technology Partnerships (KTP) strategy in 2010. Our aim was to build enduring research collaboration with a select number of partner institutions internationally.
Throughout the program, UTS and our strategic partners work to:
- complement each other's expertise
- expand our international networks
- produce joint academic papers
- recruit high-quality collaborative PhD students
- gain access to international research funding and industry projects in other countries
- gain cross-cultural understanding and inter-disciplinary experience
- contribute to research excellence and impact — with worldwide social benefit.
