Support the growing demand for knowledge from London-based businesses.
With 43 universities covering a wide scope of specialisms, London is a leading knowledge capital with a huge number of students. Sadly only a tiny percentage of London’s SMEs have benefited from the knowledge base so far.
The London Innovation Placement Programme matches talented and ambitious students, graduates and postgraduates with small to medium sized businesses across London to carry out innovative projects.
As part of the programme we hope to identify a number of projects that could benefit from further academic support. We have funding available to help pay for this support and we are looking for academics from a wide range of disciplines that can join our list of available experts.
