Launch of LifeArc Knowledge Transfer Innovation Fellowship: A Path to Careers in KT

LifeArc has opened applications for the 2025–2026 cohort of its Knowledge Transfer Innovation Fellowship, a one-year programme designed for graduate and post-doctoral life scientists looking to transition into technology transfer careers. The fellowship, offered in partnership with the AUTM Foundation and ASTP, equips participants with the skills to evaluate inventions, protect patents, and create spin-out companies, alongside networking opportunities with global experts.

The programme offers fellows access to membership with AUTM and ASTP, international event attendance, and peer mentorship. It also prepares participants for the Registered Technology Transfer Professional (RTTP) accreditation. Travel expenses for key events are covered, and fellows benefit from a structured curriculum that includes formal training and hands-on experience.

Applications are now open, and prospective fellows are encouraged to apply before the deadline. LifeArc aims to recruit diverse talent, with opportunities for fellows to secure placements at knowledge transfer offices.

Deadline: Sunday, 25th May.
