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.
