Materials Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN)
The KTN is an overarching network of networks in materials (of which NCN is the composites node). It brings together the views of all in business, designers, research and technology organisations, trade associations, the financial market, academia and others in the value network across the materials community. The KTN provides a range of activities and initiatives to enable the exchange of knowledge and the stimulation of business innovation.
The web portal of the Materials Knowledge Transfer Network supports the UK materials community. As well as bringing together the latest news, information and reports on materials from around the world, the portal has been established to debate future priorities for materials application and development, and to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from within the science and technology base to UK business.
Key sectors covered by the portal include:
• materials - composites
• technology
• application areas
• policy and support
• roadmaps, standards and measurement
The portal is also a tool for communication, and allows you to join and influence current debates in the materials sector.
To get the most out of the Materials KTN portal registration is crucial. It is free and gives you:
• Access to the latest news, developments and reports on materials technology from around the world, gathered from all sectors of the community
• The facility to participate in debate about the future of materials technology in the UK in a secure online environment
