UK Sources of Information

In addition to relevant clusters within the Regional Development Agencies, the Welsh Assembly, Scottish Executive and Northern Ireland, as well as a number of the Knowledge Transfer Networks (KTNs), including Materials and Low Carbon & Fuel Cells, there are a number of UK industry associations that may have been participating within the European Technology Platforms, or could also be a source of useful information. It is recommended that you make contact with these organisations as they may be able to assist in advice on research topics, UK capability and identification of potential partners.
