Four multidisciplinary research groups have been funded by an open EPSRC call to undertake "cutting-edge" research, and to facilitate this the groups have been housed in the purpose built Research Complex on the Harwell Science and Technology site, at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), so that the groups have ready access to the world-leading synchrotron, neutron and laser facilities at RAL. The four groups comprise:I. The UK Catalysis Hub: The Hub has four main areas of research: catalysis and energy, catalysis in protection of the environment, chemical transformations and catalysis by design. The physical base at Harwell coordinates Hub activities as well as hosting the design theme projects and providing residence to over 20 full time researchers. The Hub network brings together a multi-disciplinary approach to tackling catalytic challenges incorporating world-leading academics in their respective areas.II. The Structural evolution across multiple time and length scales MXIF@RCaH Group: The MXIF@RCaH team has a strong culture of knowledge exchange across disciplines, identifying and undertaking challenging 'step-jump' imaging experiments to study "Structural evolution across multiple time and length scales".III. The Dynamic Structural Science Consortium (DySS): This consortium makes full use of the Diamond synchrotron, the ISIS neutron and the Central Laser facilities to develop techniques for following chemical and biological processes, in the solid-state and in solution, over timescales of picoseconds to minutes.IV. The Phase Modulation Technology for X-ray Imaging Group: This team from UCL and Sheffield University is developing new optics for X-ray imaging and has pioneered a new "single-shot" X-ray method.These four groups have been working successfully at the RCaH since 2011, and at the recent mid-term review have been encouraged to achieve "even greater impact by increasing the interaction between the four groups" and "developing greater industrial involvement in order to make the project more sustainable and guarantee the potential for high impact research and development".Through the Impact Acceleration funding that the four groups are now jointly applying for we wish to achieve these targets by appointing 8 Impact Acceleration Fellows (4 Academic and 4 Industrial) for periods of up to six months, who will each span the research fields of two or more of the RCaH groups and/or will have strong industrial links. The Fellows, who will be international experts in their own areas, will be tasked with fostering the academic and industrial links between the four groups at the RCaH and the wider international academic and industrial communities. Secondly, we wish to run 8 Workshops during the next two years to further facilitate the interactions between the four groups, between the groups and the wider academic and industrial communities, and to focus on the development of early career researchers working in the science areas of the groups at the RCaH. The workshops will alternate between scientific dissemination format, translation to Industry format, and Early Career Idea Factories. We will invite internationally leading academic and industrialists for the scientific dissemination format and translation to industry format workshops, and encourage the early career researchers already working at the RCaH to develop their own idea factory workshops.Through these activities we will accelerate the impact of the high quality science being undertaken by the four EPSRC-sponsored groups at the RCaH.

EPSRC 公开呼吁资助四个多学科研究小组开展“尖端”研究，为了促进这一目标，这些小组被安置在卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室 (RAL) 的哈韦尔科学技术基地专门建造的研究综合体中，以便这些小组可以随时使用 RAL 世界领先的同步加速器、中子和激光设施。这四组包括： I．英国催化中心：该中心有四个主要研究领域：催化和能源、环境保护催化、化学转化和设计催化。哈韦尔的物理基地协调中心的活动，举办设计主题项目，并为 20 多名全职研究人员提供住宿。该中心网络汇集了多学科方法，结合各自领域的世界领先学者来应对催化挑战。跨多个时间和长度尺度的结构演化 MXIF@RCaH 团队：MXIF@RCaH 团队拥有强大的跨学科知识交流文化，识别并开展具有挑战性的“跳跃”成像实验来研究“跨多个时间和长度尺度的结构演化”。动态结构科学联盟 (DySS)：该联盟充分利用金刚石同步加速器、ISIS 中子和中央激光设施来开发在皮秒到分钟的时间尺度内跟踪固态和溶液中的化学和生物过程的技术。 X射线成像相位调制技术小组：这个来自伦敦大学学院和谢菲尔德大学的团队正在开发用于X射线成像的新型光学器件，并首创了一种新的“单次”X射线方法。这四个小组自2011年以来一直在RCaH成功工作，在最近的中期审查中，鼓励“通过增加四个小组之间的互动来实现更大的影响”和“发展更多的工业参与，以使项目更具可持续性和保证” 高影响力研究和开发的潜力”。通过四个团体现在联合申请的影响力加速资金，我们希望通过任命 8 名影响力加速研究员（4 名学术和 4 名工业）来实现这些目标，任期最长为六个月，每个人将跨越两个或多个 RCaH 团体的研究领域和/或拥有强大的工业联系。这些研究员将成为各自领域的国际专家，他们的任务是促进 RCaH 四个小组与更广泛的国际学术界和工业界之间的学术和工业联系。其次，我们希望在未来两年内举办8场研讨会，以进一步促进四个小组之间、各小组与更广泛的学术界和工业界之间的互动，并重点关注在RCaH各小组科学领域工作的早期职业研究人员的发展。研讨会将在科学传播形式、行业形式翻译和早期职业创意工厂之间交替进行。我们将邀请国际领先的学术界和实业家参加科学传播形式和转化为行业形式的研讨会，并鼓励已经在 RCaH 工作的早期职业研究人员开发自己的创意工厂研讨会。通过这些活动，我们将加速由四个 EPSRC 资助的小组在 RCaH 开展的高质量科学的影响。
