TIDAL Mapping (WS1). Guided by our consultations with partners we will carry out a series of short focused projects. The first two will focus on the regulatory landscape for AT post-Brexit and will review successful translation of EPSRC-funded research into AT products and services. Three further short projects, focused on key barriers and enablers will be developed by the Network. TIDAL community development (WS2) will establish the Network and maintain inclusive engagement. A major activity will be running the Annual Symposia and Doctoral Colloquium, with the first focussed on Responsible Engineering. TIDAL Research (WS3). We fund up to eight research projects of up to £65k (aiming for 2 per theme) to interdisciplinary teams who have an excellent research hypothesis for solving a clear unmet need. There will be three steps of development: 1) an agenda setting workshop 2) targeted calls and a team building workshop (i.e. mini sandpit); 3) review and select proposals for funding. All research projects will have a business mentor and we will also support industry placements (2 months maximum) for academics, and encourage industry-funded placements into academia. Guided by initial consultations with partners we will begin the Network+ with three themes. 1) Responsible Engineering 2) Sensors and Data Science for Communication Aids 3) Design & Digital Manufacturing Systems (DMS) & Physical Devices. An additional theme will be added as TIDAL N+ grows.WS4: Network Education & Dissemination (WS4) : The TIDAL project is led by Holloway, who co-leads the £19.8million AT2030 Programme (www.at2030.org) and the Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub) Academic Research Centre. These initiatives already have excellent networks for communication and dissemination and TIDAL will take advantage of these. Specific activities will include the development of policy notes based on the work in WS1-3, engagement with local innovators, colleges and schools through hackathons and GDI Hub Live events themed to TIDAL N+.

潮汐测绘(WS1)。在我们与合作伙伴协商的指导下，我们将开展一系列短期重点项目。前两项将专注于英国退欧后AT的监管格局，并将审查EPSRC资助的研究成功转化为AT产品和服务的情况。该网络还将开发另外三个短小项目，重点是关键障碍和促进因素。潮汐社区发展(WS2)将建立该网络并保持包容性参与。一项主要活动将是举办年度研讨会和博士座谈会，第一个活动的重点是负责任的工程。潮汐研究(WS3)。我们最多为8个研究项目提供资金，最高可达65K GB(每个主题2个)，资助对象是拥有出色研究假设的跨学科团队，以解决明显的未满足需求。发展将分为三个步骤：1)议程设定讲习班；2)有针对性的呼吁和团队建设讲习班(即迷你沙坑)；3)审查和选择筹资建议。所有研究项目都将有一位商业导师，我们还将支持学者的行业实习(最多2个月)，并鼓励行业资助的实习进入学术界。在与合作伙伴的初步协商的指导下，我们将以三个主题开始Network+。1)负责工程2)通信辅助设备的传感器和数据科学3)设计和数字制造系统(DMS)和物理设备。WS4：网络教育和传播(WS4)：TIGRADE项目由Holloway领导，他共同领导了GB 1980万AT2030方案(www.at2030.org)和全球残疾创新中心(GDI Hub)学术研究中心。这些倡议已经拥有良好的通信和传播网络，TIDEAD将利用这些网络。具体活动将包括根据WS1-3的工作制定政策说明，通过黑客松与当地创新者、学院和学校接触，以及以TIDEND N+为主题的GDI Hub Live活动。
