Knowledge and Technology Transfer Defining the Profession

There is currently no formal definition of the Profession. Without such a definition it is increasingly challenging to certify that individuals or training courses have met the standards required, particularly when the skills required of KE/TT professionals are expanding constantly.

It is our ambition that further development of this should be managed through the custodianship of ATTP. Its partnership of national associations of KE/TT gives it a unique global view which will help uncover new activities in the profession and enable it to support new education programs and certification. It will also be able to take account of the varied development stages and the different focus of KE/TT across the World.
