Applications for funding are invited by 10 July. To discuss potential projects and find out further details on funding calls, come along to a Knowledge Exchange drop-in session or book a one-to-one meeting.
EPSRC has awarded The University of Manchester over £3.2M to deliver an Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) following the successful conclusion of its Knowledge Transfer Account (KTA).
Running from 2012 to 2015, the £3.2M IAA will aim to ensure that the University fulfills its strategic Knowledge Exchange objectives in the domains covered by EPSRC research.
The University’s IAA Operations Board is pleased to announce the 3rd call for proposals for funding under the following mechanisms:
- Relationship Incubator Scheme – To develop early stage contact and strategic alignment between business and academics
- Concept Development and Feasibility Study Scheme – To bridge the gap in support for early stage commercialisation of ideas
- Exploitation Secondment Scheme - To increase the exchange of knowledge through mobility of people between the university and user organisations
- Knowledge Exchange Fellows – To extend the culture and skills for engagement in the University
The closing date for applications to this 3rd call is 10 July 2013 at 12 noon.
