Research & Knowledge Transfer Support (RKTS) Lead Contacts

RKTS lead contacts (listed below), developed in 2009, are there to ensure RKTS have proactive links with academic schools at the University of Bradford to enhance the support we provide, indenfity opportunities to develop R&KT activity and ensure enquiries and referrals are handled appropriately.

Each lead contact will:

  • Be the primary initial point of contact for academic R&KT related enquiries.
  • Monitor R&KT activities to identify key academics, R&KT profile (key indicators over past 3 years), future plans and key areas of expertise.
  • Attend Research Group meetings
  • Provide ongoing contact with key academics
  • Maintain a summary log of key R&KT activity within the contact area.
