The [http://www.ikt.org.uk Institute of Knowledge Transfer] ('IKT')is the sole [See list of Professional Bodies] accreditated professional body open to all those who predominately work in the broad and emerging profession of knowledge transfer. Established in May 2007 [ [http://intellect.computing.co.uk/2007/05/the_value_of_kn.html Computing Magazine] ] as an 'Institute' with approval [See entry in register at [http//:www.companieshouse.co.uk] . The term Institute is a restricted term under the UK's Companies Act and can only be used by permission of the Secretary of State] of the UK's (previously) Department of Trade and Industry's Secretary of State's, the IKT is a not-for-profit Company By Guarantee [A not for profit entity under English law that has no shareholders and which prohibits the distribution of profits ] . The IKT is based at the Institute of Physics's headquarters in London UK, but is open to members from any territory. Membership of the IKT is also open to members from both private sector "and" public sectors working in roles that focus on the exchange and innovative application of knowledge.
Under the Presidency of Sir Brian Fender (Chair of BTG PLC and ex Chief Executive of the Higher Education Funding Council for England), the IKT has the support of host of existing organisations in the knowledge transfer domain (including: AIRTO, UKSPA, HEFCE, CBI, Welsh Assembly Government, Universities UK, UK Intellectual Property Office, and ProTon Europe, amongst others). It differs from existing organisations in this space in that it is open only to "individuals" that meet established competency criteria. These criteria include relevant educational qualification, relevant career and CPD and are assessed by an independent Membership and Professional Standards Committee (constituted KT professionals in the UK, North America and continental Europe).
The objectives of the IKT are to assist in the process of turning technology, know-how, expertise and skills into innovative, commercial products and services by improving the standards of competency knowledge transfer practitioners "and" by stimulating the quality and provision of training.
As with other legitimate professional bodies in the UK, membership of the IKT is recognised by the UK HM Revenue and Customs as a tax deductible expense.
