The University of Ìì·¢ÓéÀÖÆåÅÆ_Ìì·¢ÓéÀÖAPP-¹ÙÍø|ÏÂÔØ has been awarded a three-year EPSRC IAA to support a diverse range of knowledge exchange and engagement activities until March 2025.

The EPSRC IAA will be used to support the University in maximising the impact of EPSRC funded research through greater engagement with potential users, industry, policy makers and the public. The key aim for the EPSRC IAA is to align to the future aims articulated by the EPSRC, namely: promoting movement of people, supporting very early stage commercialisation, engaging with business, government and third sector, culture change. Against this landscape, the specific aims are to:

• Strengthen user engagement: business, government and third sector
• Enhance knowledge exchange: increased movement of people
• Support early stage commercialisation activity: driving forward research outputs and outcomes to the point when they can secure funding streams
• Support development of a knowledge exchange culture and capability: prioritising supporting those who may not have engaged
