Knowledge Transfer Programme (KTP) Dr. Judit Kumuthini 5 th May

KTP: /05/06 2

Knowledge Transfer Programme (KTP) KTP is a match-making platform that brings together seekers of expertise in bioinformatics with providers of knowledge who are willing to transfer it in a project-based fashion. 3 KTP Knowledge Expert Expert/Trainee/ Knowledge Base PITrainees Scientific Advisory & Review Committee Project/Work Packages

The current African practice model mainly, for knowledge and skills transfer is not sustainable in a multidisciplinary field such as Bioinformatics and other “-omics” fields, i.e. sending one individual to be trained for few days is often not sufficient to apply it in the local context to his or her work. Similarly, when one or more trainers are brought in to train for a short period of time. Thus local capacity to train scientists is not created in Africa, due to failure to transfer skills and knowledge into the broader community. There is a lack of mechanisms to facilitate effective knowledge transfer, track trainees & trainers and monitoring skills development. Lack of local capacity in Bioinformatics and omics in Africa contributes to the problem industry faces today should they need to stay abreadth with current technologies to be competitive, innovative and to address market gap effectively. International training: Training abroad is neither cost effective nor supports sustainable development. The cost of sending multiple people abroad for training is too high. Often candidates sent for longer time periods do not return. Trainers brought in for short term periods costs' are equivalent to sending trainees away. Further exacerbates the lack of local capacity development to train local scientists. What is the Problem?

 KTP assembles experts from around the world, to train upcoming researchers on specialized fields or projects i.e. omics in Africa.  KTP allows training within the resource-deprived environment and provides a wider experience for visiting experts.  Transfer of knowledge from higher to lower concentration for longer period of time e.g. 2-6 months.  Faster turnaround time of effective transfer of knowledge.  Due to the above, the programme cuts running costs, as more people are trained within their local environment.  You can take part in the programme as an expert, associate or host of a project.  Fosters collaboration between African scientists and international experts.  Creates technical capacity in Africa to train other African scientists  Online registration will be available at 5 KTP solves these challenges in the following manner
