We have been awarded £1.6m by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to jumpstart knowledge exchange, translation and commercialisation.
The funding, which comes from The Impact Acceleration Account (IAA), supports critical early-stage translation of research to real impacts such as transforming public services, creating new jobs, attracting private investment to the area and forging news partnerships with businesses and charities.
UKRI is investing £118 million in the latest round of IAAs across 64 universities and research organisations.
The funding allows our researchers to unlock the value of their work enabling early-stage commercialisation of new technologies, advancing changes to public policy and services such as NHS clinical practice.
IAAs have been vital in turning the bright ideas of our researchers into reality. Building on the success of previous programmes, we are delivering a range of IAAs focused on supporting businesses of all shapes and sizes with their research and development.
