About T-PIKE

T-PIKE is an EPSRC-funded Strategic Technical Platform designed to enhance Knowledge Exchange and professional development among technical roles. It provides access to structured training, mentoring, and engagement with external partners.

T-PIKE advocates for technical careers and drives innovation by funding mutually beneficial Knowledge Exchange projects between industry and technical professionals from universities.

What is Knowledge Exchange?

Knowledge Exchange links industry and universities to share research, expertise, and resources. Collaborative research and development offers routes to commercialisation, improves the efficiency of resource utilisation, and provides development opportunities for staff.

These mutually beneficial outcomes lead to real-world impact, fostering innovation, economic growth, and competitive advantage through collaboration.

How does Knowledge Exchange benefit me?

Knowledge Exchange encourages innovation, improves productivity, and strengthens collaboration. It enables industries to access research, talent, and technology, driving growth, competitiveness, and societal impact.

For individuals, it can offer personal development opportunities and the ability to explore commercialisation ideas.

How do I get involved?

T-PIKE is designed to be flexible to meet the needs of a wide range of technical professionals and match their skills to the needs of industry.
