01/02/2006: "KTP and AppSwing"

It’s been a year since I graduated from The University of Reading and lots has happened since, although I am not sure how it has all fitted in as the time has gone so quickly. Most of the rushing around like a headless chicken has been due to a great, little known, scheme called KTP. This is a government scheme that helps companies, students and universities. Each party is helped in several different ways, but I will focus on the benefits to the student as this is the part I play. Just as a quick mention for completeness sake though, some of the benefits include:

Company

government funding for a project that is strategically important to them

access to knowledge within the university partner

University

Material for academic papers

industrial case studies

I will talk about the benefits to me in the next entry.
