4. Action For Impact
An innovation and enterprise programme for postgraduate researchers aimed at creating impact of all kinds from research.
Encouraging researchers to evolve their innovative and enterprising behaviours, whilst developing commercial awareness
Allows researchers to consider challenges that they are addressing, and become capable of realising the commercial, economic and societal impact of their research
The realisation of their impact is facilitated by a series of competitive Impact Fellowships, which will include engagement with industry, society and the world outside ‘the lab’.
Showcase event will take place from 4:30pm – 7:00pm on Wednesday 17th October to highlight the impact work of our researchers and provide a platform to award our Impact Fellowships – to sign up
Next programme starts January 2019
An Impact Fellowship is the name that we have given to the period of impact achievement which we are able to support with grant-based prize funding.
